Dear George,
One pleasant moment on my recent family trip to New Orleans was when my granddaughter V asked me if I were going to do interviews this time. I always worry that this is a sort of onerous task for the youth, but V seemed enthusiastic. V and L will turn 11 and enter fifth grade this September, and it’s always interesting to know what’s going on in the kids’ minds as they grow up. Here is what V and L had to say this time around.
Love,
Dave
