I have lovely memories of Los Angeles in the 1930s. I came down to live with my mother's cousin and they invited me to come and go to junior college for a year.

I don't ever go on the Internet. I don't even know how it works.

I had a very wise mother. She always kept books that were my grade level in our house.

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children.

Problem solving, and I don't mean algebra, seems to be my life's work. Maybe it's everyone's life's work.

My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening. She read mainly travel books.

We didn't have television in those days, and many people didn't even have radios. My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening.
