And I hadn't been back there in years- that is until last spring when Mr. Willems called and said he had to attend a librarian's conference at Kutztown. He needed a 'cultural attache' to speak to the natives, show him the local customs, and help him convert American money into root beers. And he asked me if I'd do the honors- mainly because the first 34 people he asked said 'no'.
Regardless, we had a blast! The other authors attending the conference, Eric Rohmann, Christopher Myers and Kate Dicamillo were all AMAZINGLY fun to hang out with and I actually got a little, teeny tiny, maybe choked up a couple times whilst wandering the campus remembering the good 'ol days. I even got to see a bunch of my old professors at a nice reception the President of the University threw for us all (his kids are BIG KND fans!).
And while I was there, one of the professors asked if I'd come back to do a little lecture/film festival/chat in the Fall.
Well, it's the Fall now:
So stop on by if yer in Kutztown. And if yer not... there's always the Bieber Bus!

Hi Tom
Don't know if you remember me, Judie Reitsema CD class of 1990 also. I use to hang with you and Matt at your cliffs apartment. Glad to hear you are doing great! I keep telling my 2 boys that I know the guy who does KND. They don't believe me. We have also watched some other things you have done in the past. I use to be an art director for a publisher, but now I am currently doing some freelance work at home to spend time with my boys. I hope to make it to KU for the CD Homecoming. If not, good luck on your presentation. As I remember, you were great at talking up a story. Let me know what else you have been doing.
