Pat Forcier Horray for Flint. We have produced so many famous people,especially those that honor children. Do you remember a baby sitter you had that was a teacher friend of your parents at Freeman named Sallie Johnson? She sends her best wishes from Arizona.
Cathy Lancaster Thanks for all you do! We'd love to have you back in Flint at the Flint Public Library sometime!

Laura Cannon I really enjoyed meeting you at the Texas Book Festival in Austin yesterday--you are definitely one of my favorite authors. I know my third graders will be impressed that I got to meet you and have a picture to prove it!
Kevin Moore Hi fellow guys-readers ... I'm a librarian in London, Ontario. I'm putting together a lsit of great novels for guys aged roughly 8 and up. I've got lots so far, but am wondering if anyone's got a personal favourite ... maybe a hidden gem out there that deserves some recognition? Thanks!

Jon,
I am designing working on a community project I've tentatively called "Motivating Teenage Boys to Become Lifelong Readers: a Title IX Initiative for Boys Reading". I have 2 young adult boys who happily are reading but they didn't do much of that in high school. This has now become a passion for me and your work is ...key to my education on this. I am wondering if you or anyone at Guys Read can provide me with permission to use any video links you may have - I just need 30 seconds or so of your words of wisdom or fo course humor (!) to capture their attention - this component will be an independent reading program "announcement". Many thanks for your unbelievable work and any help you can give me.Read More

Eric Ishikawa Jon, thank you for taking the time to visit with us at your book signing in El Cerrito. We are enjoying the books you recommended as well as your guysread.com site. Oh, Robot Zot is tremendous as well.
Sally Morgan There was no medal, but your pants may have been striped.
Michelle John - Michelle from La Jolla Country Day School here. Heard you were at Warwick's last night! Sorry we missed you, although we heard you "mentioned" us in regards to Robot Zot's sash! We love you!
Gayle Fielding Anson Love your Web site. Being a mother of two boys and former teacher it is so refreshing to find a site that focuses on boys and reading. Great job!!!
