“Sean is one of the finest drummers in the country and his groups are always top notch and a lot of fun to come out and see. He’s an animated drummer and his skills are impeccable,” Bennett said.

Conflict and Healing Lecture Series with Dr. Judy Jacobs
Her hope is that the lectures aren't just informative, but also interactive.
As part of The War Memorial’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, Dr. Judy Jacobs will lead a two-part lecture series titled “Conflict and Healing.” As part of the series, Jacobs will explore the impact of trauma and the journey toward resilience.
“I’ll share some things to do to have a brighter outlook on your life,” she said. “Our veterans have also been good at taking care of themselves and socializing with each other. I want them to share their experiences. Everyone has experiences and I think there is a lot to talk about.”
The first lecture, The Psychology of Trauma, is on Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. The series wraps up on March 16 at 2 p.m. with Part Two: Managing the Stressors of the Day.
