I also discovered the Trelease - Rawls connection through Jim Trelease's website last Spring. My only disappointment was that the statue of Billy and the dogs was placed at the Idaho Falls Public Library rather than in Oklahoma....but good ideas start where they were born! However, Oklahoma does have the "Rawls homestead" that was recreated for the movie: http://www.ifpl.org/rawls/movie.html it is now at Tsa-La-Gi (Cherokee Nation) in Tahlequah. Here's the link to Trelease's material about Rawls... http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/rawls.html This is a GREAT story to tell those "inspiring young writers" who believe that their work is just not quite as good as someone else's....if they've read the story it should spark their writing and provide them with the incentive to never quit writing and always believe in themselves! ~Shonda Brisco Trinity Valley MS / US Librarian Fort Worth, TX sbrisco021@charter.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Fencil" <kathy@jasmine.mv.com> To: "sbrisco" <sbrisco021@CHARTER.NET>; <LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU> Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 6:12 AM Subject: Re: Re: HIT: Thanks: Old Blue question > Just an FYI in case some of you do not know this.
