Oh, my!!! Now, I really am jealous! I named my puppy girl after Ella Fitzgerald! She's my favorite jazz singer of all time! I'm very envious of Evan meeting Ray Bradbury too.

My son sat with her for quite a while and helped with her program and had a wonderful chat with her. She thanked him profusely and wanted his address to send him something. He gave it to her saying she didn't have to send him anything. Well, a few days later he received a copy of Ella Fitzgerald's book with a darling inscription. He had no idea who this lovely black lady was.
