Since it is Paul Fleischman's birthday, let me pay him a compliment. A year
ago in August I was on a cruise in Alaska and while watching a glacier calve
I spoke to the people around me. A gentleman moved so that I could get a
good picture and he joined the conversaton. A woman asked him what he did
for a living and he said that he wrote children's books. Of curse I asked
his name and was so excited to meet him. I took his picture so that my
friends at home would know I had met the real person. He invited my husband
and I to stop by his room and he gave me a copy of his newest book and asked
me to let him know what I thought. He was travelling with family and I had
just missed meeting his father.
This is to assuage some guilt because I never got back to him. I returned to
three illness, two of which required surgery and now I am extremely healthy
and feeling that I have to get the book and fulfill my obligation,.
He was a charming and extremely friendly man and I would think he would be a
great person to have as a speaker.
