A Hero Dreams


 What could be more fun than going to a reading by an author who was one of your 8th grade Humanities students?! A successful lawyer, Mark Ristau decided to give it up to devote time to writing. Last night a good crowd and I at Common Good Books in Saint Paul listened to Mark launch the first novel of his planned trilogy.

    As a former teacher, it's always a pleasure to see what my former students are doing.

    Fascinating. Was he a good student? I wonder what his trilogy is all about? If it's WWII I will read it.

    You must have been a good influence as a teacher for a man to give up the law for the pen.
