Hello Mr. Korman,

I have read your books since the 1980s as a young lad from Newfoundland. I come from a family of voracious readers for generations.

Your Bruno and Boots characters stuck with me all through school, I enjoyed ever story. Growing up in a small village of 800 people, your books were a gateway for me to see what big city life could be like. Funny I know. I am now 50, and still fondly remember many of your books and stories. You provided a gateway to adventure.

I still have all the "Macdonald Hall" books in my home library. I just wanted to say thank you. You made a difference.

Hi, Jody,

Would you believe that my first book, THS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL, is about to tun 50??? No wonder you're now 50 amd I'm (gasp!) 62!

I really appreciate your reaching out with your longtime support. Thanks again,
