My customer of the week is Dr. Reed, a knowledgeable professor at the Jamestown College, and his happy wife who is also a professor. Dr. Reed took my bread to the sweet state of Iowa as a gift for his farming family. This picture was taken on his trip. Dr. Reed works with my father and has been kind to me since I moved to Jamestown. I remember when I first saw his big beard and twinkling eyes looking down at me when I was five.
When I read this poem, I think of Dr. Reed and his mighty beard.
Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them.
By Arnold Lobel (just the poem--- the rest was written by Mr. Mustache.)
