One of my colleagues at Central just sent me a text saying she read this blog and bawled. I told her I didn't see the "Hope in the Mail" house in person, but the first thing you did when you gave my friends and I the tour of your beautiful, yet very functional, very lived-in home several years ago was to show a camera photo of the first house where I think you used a pull-down ironing board to write the first Sammy Keyes books early in the morning before teaching high school computer science all day.<br /><br />I'll never forget that! You have dreamed big and worked hard for everything you have, and that is the message I love that you share with audiences across the country. You are also extremely generous with what you have earned.
