thanks, Will

Special thanks to Will Roberts and his AP environmental science class at Powell High School.

The students read my books "Natural Histories" and "Ghost Birds" over the past few weeks and invited me to their classroom this morning to discuss them and writing in general.

I enjoyed my visit. To the seniors in the class: Congratulations, you'll soon graduate and the world and all of its wonders will be in reach. To the juniors: You have to wait one more year.

If you look at the photo closely, you'll realize that Barney Fife was in attendance.

Thanks, Will. I'll see you again next year!

Special thanks to Will Roberts and his AP environmental science class at Powell High School.

The students read my book "Natural Histories" in the fall and invited me to their classroom on Monday to discuss it. We also talked about swimming snakes and the taste of cicadas and osage oranges. Since I've eaten the former but never the latter, I therefore learned from one of the students that it's like eating white tar.

Merry Christmas and have a happy holiday break!
