A biography written with a lot of heart & soul!

Harry Lang has done an extremely beautiful job writing such an inspiring biography of Bob Panara! I doubt there could have been a better book written - for this is not only about a legend who teaches from the Heart and Soul, but is written by a man who, too, does things from the Heart and Soul. Fascinating to read of Bob's life and especially touching to read about the incredible bond he has with his late wife, Shirley. It becomes so apparent that Shirley and Bob were truly best friends, partners, and the love of each other's lives. I loved how Harry skillfully decided which information to include without diminishing the amazing impact of Bob Panara on countless people's lives. This easily could have been four times its original length! This book should be a required reading for all who are studying to become Teachers of the Deaf. It also should be on the bookshelves of those who love baseball, theater, and literature. Kudos, Harry!
