    Whenever I open one of the books I've donated, and see Jan's face smiling at me from inside the back cover, I think she's smiling because of the work of the Book Trust!

    Thank you, Terry!

    I might give a Presidential run in 2012. I think there's going to be a vacancy!

    I believe she does, Clee. Her picture is going inside every donated book, and the library has a display case exhibit with her photo.

    By the way, we're up to 32 books: not too shoddy for just a few weeks.
