I had the pleasure of being Mem Fox's driver on three occasions and travelling with Bob Graham in Pennii's car from Govt House to town, and manhandling his hood from his jacket in the sleeting rain. It's so wonderful that being involved with CBCA has presented these opportunities to meet the wonderful authors and illustrators that fill my bookshelves. I hope that I will be as vibrant as Mem and Bob when I become a septuagenarian.Flis_Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01035186938410527960noreply@blogger.com
