Hi Gordon,

You’ve been my favourite author since we read an excerpt of ‘This Can’t Be Happening At MacDonald Hall’ in Grade Four, and I am 48 now :). It is my lifelong regret that I never got to meet you when you toured Saskatchewan libraries in 1991 because I was sick with mono. Thanks for all your wonderful work! Your books have been a touchstone of humour, comfort and Canadiana in my life. My question is whether Bugs Potter was inspired by Neil Peart? Bugs’ drumming skills certainly seem up there with the great Mr. Peart :). Thanks again!

Best,

Athena
