@louieeckhardt Ugh I’m sorry, Louis. I’m glad mine haven’t gotten that far. The most I get is screen shots of pictures… or screenshots of shareable Facebook posts.
From the vault. 😉
Christopher Plummer’s vocals were dubbed in the 1965 film and soundtrack. Now the never-before-released tracks featuring his original vocals can be heard in The Sound of Music’s Super Deluxe Edition dropping on Dec. 1!

When someone tells you they have not read a famous classic book, instead of saying, “I can’t believe you haven’t read it!”, you can say, “I wish I was you and I could read it again for the first time.”
Instead of making people feel inadequate, show them the joys of reading.
On 9/11 my grandmother walked from Manhattan to Williamsburg miraculously to safety. She was 78 years old. When she was 19 years old, she walked the Death March from Germany to Prague, miraculously to life. She said taking another step in the Death March felt like lifting the whole world on her knee. She also said she will never stop walking to her freedom.
She has walked many paths in her life. She walked through death camps and death marches and over bridges away from a terror attack. But she also walked to a job she loved, my mother down the aisle and her great grandchildren in their strollers. She wanted you to know to keep walking too. Even when it sometimes feels you have to lift your whole world on your knee.

Did you know only 1% of the Field Museum's collection is on display? The remainder of the objects and artifacts are stored carefully in one of our finest gender neutral restrooms.
@nenagerman @heymrsbond I read the article & there’s a screenshot of some of the photos. There were black & white teachers that participated. :-(
I mean, I was? I read the entire Hardy Boys series, the Misty of Chincoteague books, the Black Stallion series… but I completely understand where you’re coming. There’s so much newer & more relevant works out there for kids these days.
Serious question: People who are recommending books written in the 1990s to 12-year-olds, were you reading 30 year old books when you were that age? Aside from my dabbling in Montgomery and Weber, I wasn't reading books written during WWII in middle school.
