Biographie de l'auteur

G. Dayhoff Addley has been writing books since the age of 16 and has had several articles with pictures published. While teaching in St. Croix, she realized she would have to write down the daily humorous happenings on 3' x 5' cards in order to survive. When Ms. Addley retired after ten years, she sorted the cards chronologically and wrote them out. Too many situations escaped those cards, but any reader can see the overall picture, and those who have read my book (who are still in St. Croix) agree that 'That's the way it was and still is.' Teachers, parents and high school students everywhere will respond with feeling that 'That's the way it is everywhere!'
