I, too, can speak to the quality of Teresa's program. She is a wonderful presenter with a moving message.

As many of you already know, she is the author of A Thousand Letters Home: One WWII Soldier's Story of War, Love and Life, a book based on the letters that her father wrote during World War II giving a real-time account of his experiences. Teresa is a gifted storyteller, and she had our entire audience captivated as she told the tale of Bud Irish and his letters home. We laughed a lot and we cried a little, and I think the whole audience left a little bit changed for the better. If you aren't won over by the story of the letters, then Teresa's warmth and sincerity will probably get you. I've been privilege to book many presentations over the years, and I can honestly say this one was my favorite!
