KNOTS IN MY YO-YO STRING...1998. This is the story of the first sixteen years of my life as I grew up in Norristown. Writing is usually hard work, but this book came closest to being fun. After all, I didn't have to make up a story--it was already there! Don't you love my baby picture? And King of the Ninth Grade Prom? (I still have the paper crown, though most of the glitter has falled off by now.)

Your memoir has a lasting impact on so many of our students.  Many of our students are reluctant to share their stories, but after reading your book, students are excited about sharing their stories.
