Read in June, 2011

Met Mr. Wallis at a book signing at the Full Circle Book Store in OKC. Lovely man and his wife Suzanne was a hoot to watch navigate her new iPad.

Mr. Wallis even donned his trademark "Sheriff" voice to entertain my 8-year old during our short visit.

His version of the David Crockett story is told in full, living, vivid color and I enjoyed his retelling very much.

Took my sweet time with this one, choosing not to rush/power my way through. Relishing each colorful phrase as if Mr. Wallis was reading it to me himself.

For once, I get to share a biography with my teacher/mentor.

Got a signed copy of the book as well.

Mr. Wallis is definitely one of Oklahoma's living treasures.
