Today the Wednesday Walkie Talkies met with a member who works at Trinity University. Lyn Belisle, who teachers in the computer science department there, toured us around the campus. It was drizzling, but four stalwarts came and got to hear about Lyn’s just-completed trip to New York.
She went there with her son, Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series of books for young readers. Rick met with his editors and spoke to a sold-out crowd of pre teens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art before he and Mom Lyn took a behind-the-scenes tour at the museum. One of his books, “The Lightening Thief,” has recently been made into a movie.
But enough about him. What about my growing fame as a candidate for El Rey Fido? Right now I’m ahead in on-line giving, having raised $2,310 for the Humane Society of San Antonio. That doesn’t include off-line giving though. And with the stroke of a pen in a checkbook I could be knocked off the pedestal. So please support me at www.firstgiving.com/maryfisher1. Remember: the deadline is April 1 at 5:00 p.m.
