Author: Donald Davidson and Rick Shaffer

Selection Statement:

It was my childhood dream to become a professional race car driver, inspired by radio and television broadcasts of the Indy 500. But I was also inspired, by many good teachers, to become an educator. I have managed to do both (with the emphasis on educator), and as a result, I try to convey to my students that they can become multidimensional. They can be well read and a successful professional, without limiting themselves to things academic. This book reminded me of how I started my long and wonderful journey.
