Clive Cussler...gives a special memory

Clive Cussler is such a kind man! I never posted about this. A few months back he shared an image of Cole buried in his novels on his facebook page. I hand-wrote him a note and sent him a dust jacket from his first children's novel to sign (though he doesn't take book autograph requests anymore...just had to try). He sent back the jacket, his new children's book with a note to Cole, and a lovely hand-written note to us that we will always cherish. An internationally known best-selling author not only giving in to a request from a fan, but going above and beyond and making something truly special!

Clive Cussler shares an image of Cole

Another shot...click the image and then click it again for full shot so you can see it.

I took the picture of Cole (tiny picture of boy looking at a book) a while ago (like winter/spring), but he does this ALL the time.  And he only takes Clive Cussler's books off the shelves.  Probably because they have all things he loves on the cover.  Sharks, trains, planes, etc.  But, Mr. Cussler apparently liked the picture so much that he shared it on his facebook page.  We just think it is awesome because Mr. Cussler is our favorite author!!  So neat! Mr. Cussler also commented on a picture of Cole when he was about 11 months old, too, which was neat in itself, but this is even cooler!
