This is the start to our fifth season of Crooked Steeple and we are so excited to welcome, Ted Beal to our stage. He is a Psychiatrist who worked with soldiers on telehealth and was profoundly affected by the experience. He asked the men and women to tell them what they did in their service, “how did you lose your leg”, which was a profoundly different approach than to just give them a prescription.

He tells the stories and what he learned about how we all can be different in our approach to veterans. Saying, “thank you for your service” is not enough.  I would love for you to personally join us this season so you will get a first-hand view of the community that we are gathering around these literary events.
