GEN: Book as Memorial

["Harper, Kristi" <KHarper@ESC.CR.K12.IA.US>]

Dear Colleagues,
One of our best-loved staff members recently passed away, and I am looking
for a good book (or books) to place in my media center in his memory.
Do you have any suggestions?
Here are some things that may help:
                I work in a 9-12 alternative high school with about 700
students.
                The man who died was affectionately named "Chicken", because
of his love for fried chicken as a child!
                He was a 40-year-old African American who worked as our
community liaison/security guard.  He had mastered that ever-elusive,
perfect combination of disciplinarian and confidante.
                 He coached local youth sports for a number of years.
                He collapsed at school and died suddenly from a blood clot
to the lung.
                He had touched so many lives that his funeral was attended
by an estimated 1000 people.

He was a special man; I want to find a special book!
Thanks for your help,

Kristi Harper
