Frank

Frank McCourt has passed. I'm a HUGE fan of his writing. I love his humor, wit, honesty & dialect. I'm always a sucker for perfect grammar with unusual (to me) dialects or words blended in. If you haven't read Angela's Ashes, do so. (But fair warning: it's a tear jerker.) Teacher Man & 'Tis are also by McCourt. Every educator needs to read Teacher Man. It's all good stuff in my opinion. The man could write...and had quite the story to tell. Cheers, Frank! I'm brewing some strong tea this afternoon in honor of you & your mom!
