George Reynolds reads Crutcher books -- IRONMAN and THE SLEDDING HILL most recently. He also serves our country with honor and compassion. George's description of this picture: "Me with some kids at an orphanage in Trinidad where US Marines, Navy Seabees and Army National Guard engineers are refurbishing the entire complex and building new structures.." Thank you, George, for serving the nation and the world so unselfishly. You're a true hero.

Great Article!
Reporter Kelsey Ferguson wrote a great article on CC's visit to Calallen High School in Corpus Christi, Texas in the Nueces County Record Star on April 9. For your consideration, the lead: "A bright smile shines through his beard, and as he turns to greet the students his peppered gray hair is more clearly visible. Could it be true that this man, who looks so different from the students around him, has so much insight into the teenage world? Surprisingly, yes." Check out the rest of Kelsey's piece HERE.
Strasburg High
...will host CC in May, but the students aren't waiting to explore his books or to express his stories in their artwork. Check out a few of their terrific student projects HERE. Many thanks to Clarisse at SHS for sharing these great photos. Thanks to the kids, too, for working so hard. Crutcher LOVED your projects.
