The author reminisces:
It all began in a small town south of San Francisco…
I was twelve years old, a sixth grader at San Andreas Elementary. Our teacher was rather progressive for her day; our classroom didn’t have desks, we worked at tables, six students each. Each morning, she would write that day’s assignments on the blackboard and we would work in teams to complete them. When finished, each student went to the back of the room and turned their card from red side to green side and spent the rest of the day on extra credit.
One day I wrote a short story. When my teacher returned it to me the next day, she handed me an empty theme book and told me that from that day on my only extra credit was to fill that theme book with stories. Teacher’s orders… write stories.
That was 55 years ago.
