afternoon after school. She told me that she has
plans to go to college to become a writer. She
is already planning her first series of four
books about a magical pencil and its adventures.
I don't know that she will ever fulfill her
plans, but she did mention your name when she
was telling me that she wanted to be a writer
like you. I just thought you might like to know
that the work you do in the schools does make a
difference."
