Our Reading Across Rhode Island Kick-off held on Saturday, Jan 26, 2013 at the Newman Congregational Church in Rumford, RI, was a huge success! Retired Colonel Theodore Gatchel gave an insightful presentation connecting his experiences while stationed in Vietnam with the characters and plot of The Beauty of Humanity Movement. Colonel Gatchel gave a balanced perspective on the Vietnam of the past with the Vietnam of the present.
