On September 29th,  nurse, author, and documentary film director Patricia L. Walsh joined us for a special conversation. The evening included an opportunity to engage in a lively chat with the guest author.

Patricia L. Walsh is the author of River City: A Nurse’s Year in Vietnam. Her story chronicles the dedication, self sacrifice, trials and triumphs of practicing combat medicine. She also wrote, produced and directed a 1-hour documentary, The Other Angels. This award winning documentary shares her experience serving as a member of a civilian medical team in a Vietnamese hospital in Da Nang, South Vietnam from 1967 through 1968. It aired across the country on PBS, won the audience prize at the Denver International Film Festival, and was named "Editor's Choice" by the American Library Association.
