adendum

Last night we went to heard a band at the Art Center that is headed up by this great young author Michael Perry from New Auburn Wisconsin. He will be at the library tonight for a book reading and a meet and greet. Sue and I both read 'Population 486' (485?) and 'Truck' this summer and loved them. I recommend him to anyone who grew up in small town Wisconsin. I thought the first one was better but the second includes the fixing up of an old International truck which is near and dear to my heart. Anyway I think everyone would like these books. Matt I think you might especially relate to Pop 486 as it is about his life as a small town volunteer fireman and the 24/7 component of that job remineded me of your days of shooing elk and dragging road kill at all hours.

Also I don't know if any local folks caught Jeff Richter and his writing partner John Bates on WPR this week. They have anew book out on albino deer in Wisconsin.
