Monday, March 3

Visiting Author Ted Reinstein    7:00 - 8:15
Rescheduled

Let's give another warm APL welcome to author and journalist Ted Reinstein. He will be visiting on Monday, March 3 at 7:00 to discuss his new book, Travels Through the Heart and Soul of New England: Stories of Struggle, Resilience, and Triumph and he will have books available for purchase at the conclusion of the author talk.

Ted Reinstein is best known in New England as a journalist and reporter for “Chronicle,” Boston’s celebrated—and America’s longest-running, locally-produced—TV newsmagazine. While he appears occasionally in the studio at the anchor desk or delivering an opinion commentary, it’s out in the field where viewers are most familiar seeing Ted. From every corner of New England, he’s found the offbeat, the unique, the moving, and the just plain memorable, all while telling the enduringly colorful stories of the region’s people and places.
Mr. Reinstein's talks are always engaging and enjoyable and we are looking forward to this visit. We hope to see you there!
