If I may, speaking of libraries and librarians, a friend of mine (a car guy that has his shop next door to us) brought over one of his teenage friends to look at a car.
We got to talking and once I found out his last name (which is a bit unusual), I realized it was the same as my elementary school librarian's.
I asked him, and it turns out she's his grandmother and still teaches in a small town near here.
We used to sit at her feet and listen to her read to us about fried worms, runaway mice and big red dogs.
I thought she was old then, but she must've been only in her late 20's or early 30's.
It was good to hear she is still going strong.
She's the one that taught me such great respect for libraries and librarians.
