When I was five years old, I read my first sentence: See Spot Run. (This was in that ancient time before television and educational programs like Sesame Street.) I cannot describe the rush of power that flowed over me at that moment when I realized I could read. I knew I had hold of something powerful that would open up my world.
By the time I was six, my most treasured book was the Golden Encyclopedia. It was over-sized with a glossy cover, sprinkled with small colored illustration, and filled with wondrous knowledge. I carried it under my arm where ever I went. I have been mentally exploring ever since.
