Did the quote bring a little smile to your face and a tear in your eye? It did for me. Made me think of my Mom taking me to the library..and I’m reading to her....rather than the other way around.

For me, the key was the two-letter part of the name; which then gave the fourth word; then process of elimination gave “yrr”...

I’ve often thought that among the things that make America so different and the envy of the world are people like Disney and today’s author.

There is something inherently good in us, to have produced such.

You’ll never see the same coming out of Islamic or Chinese countries.

Trump knows this. The democrats have forgotten.

I am not a citizen of the world I am an American.

Yes, not too subtle. Maybe even Ted Geisel would have been too much of a giveaway.

The author’s name itself is a giveaway.

Every country produces people like this, in abundance. In America their talents blossom, in many other countries, they wither. America was once fertile ground for almost every kind of talent, artistic, creative, scientific, industrial.

But not if Bernie has his way.

GUessed the first word, then YRR and it was just a matter of filling in. I “heard” the quote in Harrison Ford’s voice, since he read this story to his daughter in the move Patriot Games
