I haven't heard from him yet so I thought I'd send the request along here. Hello Mr. Fendler, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to see if you might be available to visit our Young Author's Camp, which is part of the Maine Writing Project, next week. We will be holding the camp at Sebasticook Valley Middle School in Newport and would love for you to present on Friday, July 16 from 10-11. I am assuming, of course, that you are here in Newport at your camp on Lake Sebasticook so there definitely wouldn't be any traveling involved! If you are interested and available we would love to include you in our camp! Please let me know. Thank you.

Donn has been away. He does not have access to Skype I am afraid. He can be reached my mail at Donn Fendler 1770 Theresa Drive Clarksville, TN 37043 or by email at dfendler@charter.net If you send him a note, he just might be able to make something happen for your class. Thanks so much again for your interest in Donn and his story! Hi Shari,

I saw your book, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, and read it last night. This morning I asked my mother about it (she, too, was 12 years old in 1939). She told me the story of how her, her parents, and two sisters listened to the radio every day for updates of your story and how her father cried when the news came across the air waves you were found safe. Thanks for a great story and a timeless read that will inspire generations of young (and not so young) readers for generations. Cheers, Cal Pappas Willow Alaska Mr. Fendler:

I will pass along to Donn. I can just hear him say, "If you are bored it's fine to leave." He has a great sense of humor. We all miss Ree (Mrs. Fendler). Thank you again! Nancy Hi Lisa,

The children are constructing dioramas of scenes from the book that resonate with them. It is my son, Ian's, second reading of the book, the first followed by a trip to Lunksoos (it's quite nearby) and our attendance at his talk at Cole's Museum in Bangor. Though he was rendered speechless as Mr. Fendler signed his well-worn copy, he recounts the day as "awesome". Mr. Fendler began his talk to the effect, "..if anyone gets bored, it's fine to leave..." little brother Leif, said, "Mumma I'M bored...!" and promptly fell asleep. Little sister Fiona sat quietly on my lap and smiled and waved to a nice lady behind us, who responded in kind. Though they were both silent, and seemingly having a good time, surely this nice lady was missing a fascinating talk! Mrs. Fendler, as it turned out, and I,and our little ones had a wonderful visit while our oldest queued up for the book signing. Such a warm and lovely lady... we were saddened to hear of her passing. We extend our deepest sympathy to Mr. Fendler. We are grateful for the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Fendler, as they have given so much of themselves, for which we are the better. Thank you for posting a mailing address for Mr. Fendler. Though Ian's teacher may have it already, I will see that she does. She plans to post pictures of the children's dioramas online as well. Sincerely, Lisa Ammerman P.O.
