Half of Me

We are pleased to host an afternoon with illustrator, author, William Bart, in The Neat Little Bookshop on

Thursday, August 26 1:30 p.m.

William's first book was a humorous tale about a peanut-butter addicted rat who is continually getting into awkward predicaments with long-time foe, Blink ~ a cat who also happens to like peanut butter.

His second book titled Half of Me addresses a much more thoughtful subject. Many of us can gain greater understanding from William's rather special book about young people overcoming the challenges that life can pose.

Meet and visit with William Bart who has written ~ and beautifully illustrated ~ a book that should be mandatory reading for all of us.

Sights on Jarvis

Today we send out our thoughts and prayers to author and historian, Robert Schweyer. Robert is in the fight of his life and we know he is strong.

Robert impresses us with his limitless knowledge of No. 1 Bombing and Gunnery School, Jarvis, Ontario, through the war years, 1940 - 1945. From the age of nine when he witnessed his first crash site, Robert has passionately collected memorability and information. He has communicated with many of the families who lost loved ones in the tragic plane crashes during training. In his book, Sights on Jarvis, Robert documents the historical facts.

To Robert and Cindy, to Sarah and Mathew, know that your many friends are sending beautiful thoughts your way.
