• President-Elect Obama and the Future of US Foreign Policy: A Roundtable Discussion

Listen | Peter Spring

Peter Spring has sought and found healing and joy after the passing of his son, Steven, from cancer, by volunteering in the effort to help New Orleans heal from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. A musician who built a career repairing pianos, Peter has brought dozens of pianos to New Orleans, and is creating a project to teach others the craft of piano repair. Along the way, he's teaching valuable manual skills to youth, along with a few vital, life-affirming lessons.
