  1. 1951 age 7 Childhood

    My first library card

    The day my daddy signed me up, and the whole world got bigger.

  2. 1960 age 16 Youth

    The soda fountain

    My first paycheck, a mean boss, and the summer I learned I'd never quit on a child.

  3. 1962 age 18 Finding my calling

    Miss Agnes and the red pen

    The teacher who read my worst essay and showed me what I was for.

  4. 1966 age 22 The classroom

    The boy who wouldn't read

    My first year, third grade, and the child who taught me how to teach.

  5. 1967 age 23 Family

    Walter and the sweet tea

    He fixed my car, drank a gallon of my tea, and stayed fifty-two years.

  6. 1984 age 40 The library

    The reading room we built

    They gave me a broom closet and a tiny budget. We made a library.

  7. 1979 age 35 The classroom

    Houdini the hamster

    The class pet escaped the week the superintendent visited. I'll let you guess.

  8. 2019 age 75 Later years

    The empty side of the swing

    Losing Walter, and the small, ordinary things grief leaves you holding.

  9. 2023 age 79 Later years

    What I'd tell that girl

    The things I'd whisper to the shy girl with the library card.

This is a glimpse. Imagine it in their voice.
