Lecture took place on October 27, 2007. He starts his speech with how his youth was troubled, he did not play sports, barely got through school, did not like to read, parents were alcoholics, and had a rough childhood. One day he went to the librar...y to get warm, the librarian asked him if he needed help. She told him he needed a library card, he was amazed because no one gave him anything. He said that card made him somebody. When he was young he lived in the woods, he trapped, hunted, and fished. His books are based on this time in his life. She asked him if he wanted a book, he said yeah. It took him weeks to read the book. He took the book back and she kept giving him new ones. At 17 years he joined the army. He says everything he has become is because of this librarian, she kept him reading and he got better. Very motivational talk. (6:12)
