THE PROGRAM

Joe Harrington is a storyteller and a poet in the western tradition. With half his life as a scoutmaster, many of his stories and poems have been told around a campfire.  Joe has a career as a Media Designer with Walt Disney Imagineering. His book, Tekoa, is about two seniors at Texas A&M who set out to discover the secrets of Ghost Lights of Marfa. They encounter unexpected adventures of the lost civilizations of the Anasazi, the Nephilimand and the Tekoans. Their courageous journey illustrates the character of the American spirit as they battle ancient myths and solve mysteries. Their story is a combination of scientific fact and fantasy. Joe’s presentation was both informative and entertaining.
