A Very Special Thanks to the People who made this Experience possible in Ohio

Mary -- librarian extraordinaire who has loved my art for a long time and made this whole story happen.  Some may say she saved the best till last because I was her final guest author/artist before retirement. (No, she didn't retire because of a traumatic experience.)
 
Mr. Kovack -- for listening to his librarian when she told him about my art and then believing in me     

A host of teachers -- inspiring their students to create art inspired from my writing.  An amazing first for me!
   
The students at Walnut Elementary -- those who painted with me and the rest who really wanted that opportunity.  Thank you for your daily greetings.  I know you were supposed to be quiet in the hallway.

Phyllis -- for cabbage worth remembering.  How is that even possible?
