#MaryannMacDonald shares her memories of #RichardPeck @SouthernMissCBF #usmcbf. "I loved Richard, and Richard loved pie."

[ASH Lower Library @ash_LS_Library]

Her cherry pie was just about the last thing he was able to eat and enjoy.

[ASH Lower Library @ash_LS_Library]

When asked his favorite kind of pie, he said, "Pie is my favorite kind of pie."

[ASH Lower Library @ash_LS_Library]

Now that Richard's gone, no one may ever say "my land!" again.

Students loved his stories. Held up a book and said, "I dont know who these people are and what they"re doing on the cover of my book."

[ASH Lower Library @ash_LS_Library]

Wished we all could have been there to see that magic. The most gifted teacher she had ever seen in his life. A wonderful writer but an even better #teacher.
