Wise Students
October 31st, 2008I visited with a large group of enthusiastic Wise FOHs (Friends of Humphrey) on Wednesday at the Stephen S. Wise School here in Los Angeles. My friend, Roberta Lloyd, is librarian there. (We just figured out that we’ve been friends for 19 years – gulp!) Cathy Ryne, the new librarian at Stephen S. Wise, is president of The Children’s Literature Council of Southern California whose gala I attended on the 18th.
Here's a picture I grabbed off the school website - they LOVE-LOVE-LOVE Humphrey there. I took a few pictures but they turned out lousy and I don't think Roberta would be my friend any more if I used them! They didn't do either of us justice.
What an ebullient bunch of kids and teachers. Afterwards I signed books as part of their week-long book fair and got to meet parents as well as students. I had an unsqueakably good time!
In place of the photos I should have, here are a few more of picturesque Petaluma, CA, where I was a week ago.
A Petaluma Wonder - Volpi's restaurant, a Speak Easy during Prohibition
A dueling Wonder - The Ladies who erected this WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union) water fountain would not have been pleased about the Speak Easy!
Thanks again to Sonoma Mountain Elementary and Linda Beth Freese.
