Ted Sorensen, the brother of the late Tom Sorensen, after whom the Sorensen Institute is named, was an inspiring author, speechwriter and adviser to President John F. Kennedy. Ted Sorensen was well known for his wit and wisdom and was a great supporter of the institute bearing his brother's name.
He visited Charlottesville to benefit the institute on Sept. 8, 2008, at a reception held at Farmington Country Club. The evening's talk is available in the Sorensen Newsroom archives in two parts.
