Amazing Story from an Amazing Teacher

Suzanne Kelly is an amazing teacher. When given the assignment to teach problem solving skills, she went out and earned a private investigator license! Then she wrote a story and a teaching package that was phenomenal using those new found skills to solve the crime.

She is retired now, but one of her best projects came about after she read a short World War II memoir. It was about men who survived three weeks in a life raft after the plane when down. Her students were filled with questions: What happened to those men? Where were they now? How did the experience change their lives? Those questions began a years work as the students first found the survivors, mailed them, and finally spoke with them. It was a story that reached international news services and television! Since then, she has kept in contact with some of them.

At long last, she put together the information they learned. It will be a fascinating book, and due out June 1st according to Amazon, see link below. For anyone in the Ames area, the public library will have a signing on May 2nd.

I urge you to read this story!
