McGuffey Reader

When I was growing up, the reader I used in elementary school was the
McGuffey Reader. I learned all about Jane, Dick, and their entire family.
I have wonderful memories of that reader and what the litle girl looked
like. I grew up on them and was sad when they took them out of the schools.
When I moved to Aiken, a lady moved in down  the street from my second
home who was the daughter of the man who wrote the McGuffey
reader. She gave me her doll that was given to her by her Father, which was
 the doll fashioned after the character in the reader!...... I was thrilled!
I had read the McGuffey reader and now I had met the author's daughter!
One day, we will be able to say that we have read the Bible, and we have
 finally  met the author!
Now, that will really be thrilling!
Becky
