Johnny Vic Historical Tile Wall

You are a published author. Finally. An adult. You visit your hometown elementary school. In front of you are 19 students. Fourth graders, actually, at Ticonderoga Elementary School. You realize it's been many decades since you were a fourth grader yourself. There's a boy there, who looks like Greg, the one who loaned you his jacket so you could "go steady" (in the 1960's). And, the pretty girl on the right reminds you of Annette. There's a kid who looks a bit like your old classroom bully, too, but this one is quite polite. Well, that was my reaction, to each fourth grade class that came to hear my talk. And they were all great! What's more, their art teacher is planning to have them do colorful pictures that will be transferred onto a tile wall in the school! How cool is that? A Johnny Vic Historical Tile Wall. Partially funded by the school's PTO group, the Ticonderoga Historical Society, and members of the Class of 1969. There's going to be an open house, sponsored by the Historical Society at the Hancock House this summer. Stay tuned! (And, yes, the next Johnny Vic book will be out soon!)
