I was stunned to read your goodbye to your grandpa because of your description of the "papa filled place". I lost my dad a year and a half ago and that is the perfect description for what I feel. Thank you for that. My sympathies to you and your family over the loss of your dearly loved grandpa.

In class, I argued that an author had put too many emergency situations in his then Mark Twain Award nominee book; Phil did not think so! Later as I took a leadership role in the Missouri Association of School Librarians, I traveled to national conferences with Phil, Aileen, Floyd, and others. At one conference, he was so proud to introduce you to several of us from Missouri. He bragged about you often. The world of children's literature has lost a tremendous advocate. However, the legacy of the Literature Festival and the work you do live on. Your words are a touching reminder of your grandfather and his life's work.<br />Judy Danieljdanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473089197881961149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-11354416522728554342010-01-02T09:28:55.911-05:002010-01-02T09:28:55.911-05:00Cheryl, I have your blog bookmarked and am glad I ...Cheryl, I have your blog bookmarked and am glad I checked it today.

I had your grandfather for three classes and worked at the festival for about 5 years. It was great. I helped change the Ward Edwards children's literature collection from LC to Dewey and witnessed the merger of the Lab School collection into the Ward Edwards collection now at the new library. I have now applied to Ohio State University Literature for children and young adult program in part because of the influence of your grandfather. He will be greatly missed.<br />Mark LuetkemeyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-35547423562432814972009-12-30T22:00:19.199-05:002009-12-30T22:00:19.199-05:00Thank you so much for sharing your memories.

He was always so pleasant, positive and fun to be around. We shared a passion for children's literature, proper English, and a dislike of country music. I remember how helpful he was during our state library conferences - always running errands and lifting the boxes too heavy for the rest of us. I know how very special you and your success was to him as he was delighted to brag about you on many occasions. He lives on in the gifts that he left each of us.<br />SherylSherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513257118480277230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-45540591194138971312009-12-30T08:18:23.391-05:002009-12-30T08:18:23.391-05:00A lovely post that brought tears to my eyes and me...A lovely post that brought tears to my eyes and memories of my own Papa.
