Wayne Joerling and I grew up together in Marthasville, I even worked with him on my family farm during the 1950s. What a wonderful surprise to me when his daughter Jan Joerling-Leonard contacted me on June 18, 2006 asking for a signed copy of La Charrette to present to her Dad for Father’s Day. We exchanged payment for the signed copy of La Charrette. Later Jan wrote:

             ”I can not thank you enough for accommodating                              my request so graciously and expediently!”

And if that wasn’t enough, Jan and I shared other valued moments in our lives to include her Uncle Herb Joerling serving as my science teacher in Washington High School for four years launching my career in the biological sciences.

Thanks Joerlings, one and all, for your interest and support.

La Charrette copies make great gifts for any occasion. Let me hear of your wishes.
