I like knowing I am 1 in 15000 fans who have some JP written history! My daughter brought a JP video to her 1-3 grade class for WA State history day, and told me, "Mommy, only the teacher and I were laughing."  She met him at airshow in Bellingham when she was 9 and I was on stage, where JP was leading Simon Says with adults, turned into giggly kids, per my daughter's observation.  She is now 23, and a third generation fan!  That is when I bought your book, and my Gertrude/JP shirt.
