Change Isn't Easy, It Takes Time.

I Grew Up In A Household Where Reading Was Encouraged. My Mother Believed In The Power Of Words, And My Father Obviously Did Too.

After My Mom Died, There Was So Much Written About Her Fashion And Her Style And All That, And I Felt That One Of The Most Important Parts Of Her Was Missing, Her Real Intellectual Curiosity.

One Of The Greatest Gifts My Brother And I Received From My Mother Was Her Love Of Literature And Language. With Their Boundless Energy, Libraries Open The Door To These Worlds And So Many Others. I Urge Young And Old Alike To Embrace All That Libraries Have To Offer.

I Have Come To Believe, More Strongly Than Ever, That After People Die They Really Do Live On Through Those Who Love Them.

People Don't Always Realize That My Parents Shared A Sense Of Intellectual Curiosity And A Love Of Reading And Of History.
