I remember even as a little girl, reading a book called Cleo, I mean, they were all about dogs and horses, I read all of the “Lassie” books. Farley Mowat’s books, I later met Farley and stayed at his house. He was such a gentleman, so gracious, a fabulous guy. Gosh, reading magazines, National Geographic, when I later got to work with National Geographic, and that wasn’t with the magazine, but with the television. That was pretty fabulous.
Hope Ryden and her many wonderful books. She’s written on beavers, she’s written on wolves. I would read anything, anything by her. And just the idea, I mean I’m married to an author. Authors were my heroes growing up, and now I get to see one at breakfast every day!
