Thanks to all of you for the wonderful discussion spurred by "Minders of Make-Believe." My copy is on its way.
The following made my morning!
> I had interviewed Ursula Nordstrom for my biography of Margaret Wise Brown. By then she was living in a retirement home in Connecticut. The plan was for me to take a bus up to a nearby strip mall and be met by her and a friend. Standing next to Ursula on the sidewalk was a teenager with a boom box turned up very high. I stepped down from the bus, locked eyes with the woman I saw must be Ursula, and took in an earful of the music. The first thing she said to me was: "Want to dance?"
