Super - I haven’t seen anything written by him in ages. Thanks.
He’s the author of a children’s book entitled Pater and the Starcatchers. My daughter is a children’s literature expert. A few years ago she managed the children’s section of a bookstore.
Management asked employees to set a goal to sell a certain number of their favorite book in a year. Her colleagues all picked the big best-seller. She chose Barry’s relatively well known but obscure book to sell 100 copies.
When she hit her goal, I sent Dave Barry am email and asked him to congratulate her. He sent her a nice hand written card to thank her.
