From Saturday:The Polo All-School Reunion was great fun – 85 years of folks coming up through St. Liborius; big German Catholic families; good people all around. For a guy like me, who didn’t grow up there and doesn’t know folks, the great surprise was that the Polo school library was giving away it books – go ahead; take ’em!

We emerged with a stack of children’s and young-adult books Jodi remembered from her childhood, including one of her favorites, A Wrinkle In Time – as well as a number of hardcover classics, including David Copperfield, The Grapes of Wrath, Frankenstein and Animal Farm.

Free books – can’t do better than that!
