To celebrate the success of Harper Lee's previous and anticipated novels, let's discover other women authors through history. Match the woman with her accomplishment.
Read Whole Story
When I read Lee's next novel, I'm excited to see how Scout grows as an adult. If her tenacity and spunk are still as fierce, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Until then, I'm enjoying reentering the world Lee created which isn't so different from our own.

What do we make of a bad book, written late-career, b...
Books we read are a telling of who we are. This summer, several noted authors have released new books sure to redefine and influence our thoughts, world views and opinions.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee missed her induction as an inaugural member of the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame on...
While most authors don't spend the same amount of time as Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee on today's novels there are certain things that need to be clear and true when writing a book.
Let Me Die In His Footsteps, Roy's new novel, set in a 1952 Kentucky town, concerns Annie Holleran, a 15 year old girl who has an uncanny sense of knowing how things will turn out before they've played themselves through.
MONROEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee has started a nonprofit company that will produce a play about the book, ending a...
March 14 (Reuters) - The literary agent for Harper Lee said he was surprised someone had told Alabama authorities that the 88-year-old author might be...
MONROEVILLE, Ala. — The doubts arose almost immediately when HarperCollins announced last month that it would release a rediscovered book by Harper ...
Harper Lee, the media-averse author of To Kill A Mockingbird, has been in the spotlight more than she'd like recently. Last month, her publisher annou...
While America has taken huge steps towards equality, issues are still being fought over today. This month is Black History Month so it is especially important to celebrate how far our country has come and also address the shortcomings that remain.
It's perhaps noteworthy to find Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train settle into its fourth week at No. 1, even while a considerable handful of media-tie ins filled out the spots beneath it in the week heading into the Oscars.
Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, is to publish a second novel, according to the New York Times. I guess it all started the night the Comedian was murdered. Of course Jem said it started much earlier than that, with Ozymandias.
The average price of a best-seller jumps up this week on the Digital Book World Ebook Best-Seller List, from $6.89 to to $8.05.
The film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey is due to hit theaters on Valentine's Day, likely propelling two-thirds of James's trilogy up the rankings much the way the Bradley Cooper movie recently helped American Sniper into the No. 1 spot a few weeks ago.
As with the recent film Selma, Watchman will acquaint or reacquaint Americans with the nation's long struggle for civil rights. As Selma prompted renewed attention to LBJ, Harper Lee's new book will rekindle the debate over Atticus Finch. Those who revere him may have to reassess his heroic status.
As I prepare to give a talk at Columbia University in the upcoming weeks on the subject of Lewis and the Purposes of Suffering, it seemed wise to return to the topic and revise it in light of what new comes to mind.
MONROEVILLE, Ala. — One morning late last summer, Tonja B. Carter was doing some legal work for her prized client, Harper Lee, when she found hersel...
Go Set A Watchman, with its Biblical title born of Isaiah and Ezekiel, will have a first printing of two million copies. The joy with which lovers of To Kill A Mockingbird greeted this announcement was soon tempered by questions.
Just yesterday, Lee's publisher announced that the beloved author's rediscovered book, Go Set a Watchman, a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, will be published this July.
Harper Lee is publishing another book titled Go Set a Watchmen, which is amazing news to say the least. The fact that it is a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird is even more so. Being an aspiring author from Alabama, she is without a doubt one of my heroes.
Watch out, world: Go Set a Watchman is coming.
The news broke yesterday that 88-year-old author Harper Lee will be publishing a second book. The n...
First of all, there are the books.
A clue to the attention to detail in guest rooms at Streamsong Resort in central Florida's Bone Valley, their titl...
Like legions of fans who've cherished To Kill A Mockingbird, I've wondered why Harper Lee never wrote another novel. And I've wondered if Harper Lee felt betrayed by her childhood friend, Truman Capote, who used her keen eye to research In Cold Blood but gave her no credit for her contribution.

CHICAGO (AP) — Joakim Noah had 21 points and 16 rebounds, Carlos Boozer added 15 points and 13 boards, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Philadelphia 76ers 103-78 on Saturday night.
Noah, Bulls rout 76ers 103-78
Noah extended his streak of double-digit rebound games to 12, the longest stretch of his career.
The duo's dominating performance was awfully similar to the teams' last meeting at the United Center, when Noah posted a triple-double and combined with Boozer for 44 points and 33 rebounds on Feb. 28, 2013.
Chicago (19-20) has won seven of nine games in 2014. The Bulls led by as many as 36, their largest lead this season.
D.J. Augustin scored nine points and dished out seven assists in the pivotal second quarter, in which Chicago extended its lead from five to 20. He finished with 19 points and eight assists.
Only three 76ers scored in double digits, Thaddeus Young leading the way with 12 points.
James Anderson had 11 points and seven rebounds for Philadelphia (13-27), which has dropped six of seven.
Augustin brought the fans to their feet two minutes into the second when he threaded a cross-court bounce pass to Jimmy Butler, who finished strong with a thunderous slam. Augustin later fed Noah on a two-handed dunk in transition to cap the dominating quarter.
Noah and Augustin combined to make eight of 10 shots in the second period, outscoring Philadelphia 17-12.
Augustin has been a spark since the Bulls signed him on Dec. 13. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.5 points with Chicago and has led the team in assists 11 times. The Bulls are 11-8 with Augustin on the roster, and 7-2 in 2014 — their only two losses coming to the Washington Wizards within the last six days.
The 76ers missed all 11 3-point attempts in the first half and committed 17 total turnovers.
Philadelphia shot 35.1 percent from the floor (10.5 percent from 3-point range) and has turned the ball over 64 times in its last three games.

Gomer represents everything that is wrong with democracy.
Love how AG Holder doesn't even pretend anymore when dealing with these racist, homophobic goobers! Have fun with your asparagus, indeed.
It is quite easy to answer the idiot. Yes, private business has the right to believe in whatever they want. They just can't act on it if it violates the laws or constitution.
Please god…don't let this fool ever get caught playing footsie in the airport bathroom and then have to disclose he's a "homosexual". Because then I would have to change my sexual orientation and start batting for the other team. Of course, you know I'd be a catcher.
The guy is completely nuts. Why do you give him the time of day? Nothing else to report. Then don't report anything.
Never heard Gohmert actually speak before.
The whole "gay Cindy" lisp is right on.
110% bitter, old and grotesque closet case.
did he really say "easibly" about one minute in? oh…he's from texas – that explains a lot.
too funny! ag holder has lost all patience with these misguided fools looking for tv sound bites to feed their base, and it shows.
Holding a belief, and being a business owner or not, is certainly not a violation of someone else's civil rights. Only acting on a belief as a business owner to withhold a service could violate another's civil rights. Which is what I have to assume Mr. Gohmert meant to ask about. Stupid question, and not a very smart answer from Mr. Holder either. SMH at our government.
Gohmert is such an idiot.
This man redefines the word prick. I am glad Eric Holder went off on him!
wow talk about hate!
..and this morning Joe (Reagan,reagan,reagan) Scarborough tried to equate this with the way janet Reno was treated…Noooooo it's NOT the same thing…..Blatant Racism is the cause here….Im white and I see it! The way the GOP treated Pres.Obama and Holder with with utter contempt and disrespect…more then any other I've heard in my 53yrs…
That wasn't as robust an exchange as I expected.
Gomert was just making a speech to his audience…..he certainly wasn't interested in answers….and that question about "a business' was confused, unclear and just dumb.
"Blatant racism" huh? What about a black Attorney General who sees no foul in two black thugs at the doors at a polling place wielding clubs? Holder is a racist ass.
The brain of the gentleman has expired..in about 1954 by the looks of things.
Mike: You are a tool. Using Faux news talking points that have been debunked months ago is just asinine.
Okay, I'll play. Why is significant that the "thugs" were black? How is relevant? Being black isn't illegal, now.
The legal question is whether or not the certified poll watchers' appearance violated the law.
State law enforcement could have brought charges if it did. Did that happen?
Janet Reno was treated with a mixture of sexism and homophobia (accurately or inaccurately on the latter). Gomer is just being less subtle. Listening to Gomer bray sounds like listening to a speech-impaired stroke victim, the difference being that stroke victims usually have actual thoughts they're trying to convey.
I wish that I could say that Gomer is not representative of the East Texans that he represents. But sadly he is. I know a thousand Gomers, from the exact same strain of social DNA–white trash losers, who see the rest of the world passing them by culturally and materially, and desperately resentful that they don't still get to look down on Blacks. The same type of redneck thugs who used to shoot spitballs from the back of the room at the back of the head of the smart Black guy in the front row. Just because. Gomer represents both the worst of what Texas (and the South) was, and the worst of what remains.
People try to argue that the United States is post-racial? Not when you've got dumb-as-a-post racists like Gomer elected to public office. Progressives need to stop doing endzone dances over Windsor, Doma and Brendan Eich, and start doing the really hard work of organizing to vote bigots like Gomer out of office.
Gohmert is a former judge????? That moron???? *DEAD*
Hopefully enough Texans will soon vote Gohmert out of office. He and his ilk are not only a local shame, he is a national embarrassment! Just imagine what the rest of the world thinks when they hear of this half witted imbecile and his illogical beliefs . . .
…a private business ???? Is it open to the general public, serving the public ???
Ya can't discriminate you buffoon. Baking a cake or taking a photo isn't being a part of the ceremony. You do what you were hired to do and get paid. That's what businesses open to the public do. The reasoning is stupid. If I buy a tire and the owner of the business says I can't sell it to you 'cause you're gay and if I sell it to you that means that I am helping you drive around. THIS IS STUPID!!!!
Time for Gohmert to pack up and to go home to Texas come time for his district's election. He is one of the most obnoxious members of Congress to listen on TV, etc. Anti-gay bigot, religious fanatic, etc.
Gohmert is s repeated violator of the separation of church and state every time. He goes into this shamelessly sanctimonious and religious mode at times that is a total waste of taxpayer time and money. I am a liberal Christian, however, I am fed up and furious with him as I believe that faith is meant to be a personal and private thing to be kept to oneself while serving in public office. In any Congressional district lives a diversity of people of various ethnic groups, faiths and non-faiths, both straights and LGBTs, etc., who EXPECT AND DEMAND TO BE REPRESENTED IN CONGRESS AND NOT PREACHED TO BY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Stop talking over other people, idiot!
"The time of the gentleman has expired". Thank goodness for time limits on mindless and bigoted ramblings. He just rambled here and there and accomplished nothing useful in the end. He only looked like a fool and a bigot to the atty. general and to many people, wasted taxpayer time and money, and exhausted the patience of that portion of the American public that has common sense and intelligence.

Former Boston mayor Menino joins Blue Hills Bank board of directors
Former Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino has agreed to join the Blue Hills Bank board of directors, the bank announced in a news release Thursday.
The bank was founded in Menino's neighborhood of Hyde Park and was formerly called Hyde Park Savings Bank. It has been Menino's personal bank "for years," the news release stated.
"I have had a number of opportunities to join a variety of boards," Menino said in a prepared statement. "Blue Hills Bank is my bank and a true community partner that has developed a proven track record of service and dedication to the people of Hyde Park and surrounding communities. I am excited to lend my knowledge and experience to this local company."
In February, Menino became the co-director of Boston University's Initiative on Cities, which will convene city leaders worldwide to share information. The other co-director is Graham Wilson, a professor in Boston University's College of Arts & Sciences and chair of political science.
The initiative is affiliated with BU's Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future.

Have you been paying lots of money on plumbing related repair? Are you currently unable to enjoy your brand-new bathtub due to constant drainage conditions that seems to happen during your house? Is your plumber consistently returning to your house to fix your own faucets and water pipes?
increase your plumbing related information Are you currently spending lots of money on plumbing related restoration? Have you been not able to enjoy your brand-new bathtub because of continuous drainage conditions that seems to take place all through your home? Is your plumbing technician consistently coming back to your property to fix your faucets and pipes? If you find yourself in any of such or much like these kinds of conditions, you should stop and take a moment to breathe and check out just how well you realize your water system. You may want to brush up in your practical knowledge on water pipes and drainages to help you much better handle your whole water system and prevent typical troubles from developing and getting more costly. Here are several main reasons why you might want to start reading up on plumbing: 1. You might be having to pay your plumbing technician for fixes and tasks that you can effortlessly do on your own. 2. Many local plumbers might ask a lot more than the necessary cost for any simple job or overprice the parts he put to use. 3. You may attempt to repair it on your own with no correct know-how and tools; therefore, leading to a lot more problems than troubles repaired. Which are the basic plumbing related parts and just what are they for? To stop spending more and making more damage to your whole drainage system, you need to learn about the simple portions of this system and what they are really for. • Pump - This really is accountable for pumping water into your system and flushing out waste materials and small contaminants. Problems related to the pump are relatively simple that you can do them all on your own, without need for specialist help. Plus, it is less than getting a local plumber repair this for yourself. • Pipes - This is actually the most crucial part of your system as this is the spot that the water travels throughout the entire home. Various materials are utilized for the piping which includes lead, strong plastics, some other metals and bamboos. This is also the part of the system that is most susceptible to problems and troubles. For example, during winter, they are really likely to burst because of the cold temperatures. In case your problem refers to your pipes, it's best to call in the local plumber. Water pipes issues are extremely advised to be left for professionals only. • Plumbing fittings - These are your toilets, faucets, showers, etcetera. Troubles often associated with these fittings center on replacing because of damage, deterioration, or out-of-date efficiency. These are super easy to change and you may simply do this on your own, except when the damage gets to the pipes. When the broken tap is straight mounted on one of your pipelines, you certainly need to get in touch with the plumber. Hunting for a Myrtle Beach Emergency Plumber?

Vegas has provided me with my fair share of crazy nights. Growing up in Vegas, most could only imagine some of the things I've seen. I've been blessed with many great experiences in life and I'm looking forward to the experiences ahead of me. I try to lead a active lifestyle and enjoy spending a few hours a week in the gym working up a good sweat. I am a recent college graduate looking to pursue a fulfilling career in the medical field. I think being able to help a lot of people as well as secure financial stability will be extremely rewarding. I've been fortunate to see the in's and out's of our unique city's nightlife provides. That being said, I like to go out from time to time but I can also enjoy not doing things that involve a nightclub. I'm aLways down to catch a new movie, grab a beer and lose at a game of pool, or just hang out and laugh about whatever silly conversation comes up. Warning: if you can't hold onto a conversation about more than what happened on Love and HipHop, we're probably not the best match. On the other hand, if you know what you want, and aren't afraid of having a ton of fun while going after it, send me a message and let's chat…
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Basketball, Bowling, Football, Martial arts, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
Recently I've been on a sushi craving so I've been exploring Vegas for some of the better places to enjoy a nice AYCE. Pretty much I'm game for anywhere with a great atmosphere with good company
I like to find things that take me out of the house such as going to the movies, going to the gym, having a drink at a bar, or just hanging with friends somewhere random. I'm not a great bowler but I'm great at talking ish, so that's always an option

.........................that was....... sad.................... it reminded me of myself a little bit.....................
I got teased for being such a book freak......... but my best friend was always there...... and I turned out ok!
Author's Response: Yeah, best friends are good. I normally don't talk about that rather dark chapter in my history, but I figured that since I am anonymous on here, no one would know anyways! NZrn
That's a great testimony.
Author's Response: Thank you.
I would never think there was such a sad history behind the girl who writes the beautiful poems.
Author's Response: Thank you, both for the review, and for the compliment. I really have changed, because you would guess from my name that I write horror or something 8-) NZ
I must admit that I never imagined that someone would have so complex and interesting a history behind a pen name. I'm afraid to post my own story now, because it pales in comparison. Thank you for responding to the challenge, Nazgrrl.
Author's Response: You should post it. I certainly didn't write this essay to scare off the author of the challenge. 8-) You certainly welcome to that part of my history. You can keep it even!! (Not that it is worth keeping) As I said to Gemini, I thought I owed people an explanation of why my name doesn't correspond to the poems I write. NZ
One word: Wow. That was amazing. Ok, that was a word and a sentence, but you get the idea!
Author's Response: Thank your. I really thought that I owed people an explanation for the name that doesn't match my writing. 8-) NZ
That's interesting indeed. I was a bit like you. I remember starting a new school at 13 after running away from three due to bullying and this one I could not run from as one of my uncles had taught there for over 20 years and I could not let him down. I was first into the class on the first day of term and gradually it filled up with noisy, swearing kids and I read. I had a book with me - not Tolkien but it was a superb book. And I refused to speak to them, or even acknowledge them when they stuck their faces in mine and shouted was I deaf|? I might have to go to the school but I was not, ever again going to be intimidated or try to fit it with a bunch of orc-mannered cretins. So I didn't and I was like that all through the next three years and when I left I forgot it and the kids. I was glad to leave school, as I don't like noise, crowds, and being forced into false camaraderie. Group activities still make me cringe. I am a loner by nature, although friendly enough, just not pushy or social. The friends I consider '' friends '' now, I've met via Tolkien sites, as I have something in common with them, but I doubt I'll ever see them in the flesh. It's just nice to exchange views with people who love Tolkien and it is an education in itself to read some of their work. I'm sorry for the bad time you had, I was bullied both physically and emotionally and stepped on for being very shy and preferring books to people, but those kids didn't deserve one minute of time spent on considering them. After I read Tolkien at 16 I made my theory that that was what had happened to the orcs; they had interbred with humans, which was why society had so many problems. [ I still like that theory d;-) ] I rarely saw any-one from school after leaving and just closed a door on it. I am glad you came through it! Take care.
Author's Response: You know, it sounds like you had almost more of a traumatic experience than I did. I like your theory about orcs. Now that I think about it, the mortals at that school behaved a lot like orcs. 8-) I suppose there were alright times at that school, but when ever I think back to that period of my life, I can only imagine bad times.

Okay swimming-pool,camp ground has shade.15 minutes walk to old town/tower.Easy to find.
We stayed here in the height of summer, so the shaded pitches were a godsend to keep the tent nice and cool. The pitches were a liitle on the small side, and very nearly one and a half hours, and one divorce later, me and the wife had made a tent that was too big for the pitch fit.The toilet/shower block facilities were big enough and very clean too. The pool was ok (yes, you do have to wear a cap, but if you know that in advance, take one with you) and there was actually decent entertainment laid on in the evening too.There is decent information about cycle trips, things to do and the local area on the notice boards, and the staff were knowledgable.There is a shop onsite, with fresh produce available, but also a supermarket close by if you want to economise.If you're touring, then it makes a good base for the area, as Pisa itself is very pretty, with the obvious attractions, but you would struggle to spend more than a day, maybe two, without needing to venture further afield.All in all, very good value, decent campsite, with an excellent location for visiting the leaning Tower etc.
I camped here while on a bicycle tour of Italy and Corsica. The staff are very friendly and competent, the location is perfect (walk to the Leaning Tower and Pisa's other big attractions, walk to a good sized supermarket, walk to the train station, very close to the airport) and the on-site amenities are excellent.
Booked 2 nights stay in a mobile home for a family trip to Pisa. At first was unsure what we had booked as we had to walk through a under pass on a main road to get to the site. But once there the staff were very friendly, the moblie home was basic but prefect for the short stay. The site and mobile home(s) were clean and tidy. We took our 2 year old and found that the pool area and shop was suitable for our needs. The walk to the Tower was only about 10 - 15 mins away (via the under pass) but this was fine. Once at the Tower there were restaurants and plenty of tourism shops. Also nearby was a main food shop and take away outlets. We also has a meal in the restaurant on site which was very good.
I only stayed at Camping Village Torre Pendente, for one night. My flight arrivied at Pisa airport at 1 o'clok at night, so I was looking for a place where I could check in really late, which was extreamely hard to find. I emailed Torre Pendente, and a few hours late I recived an answer, and ofcourse I could check in that late. And surely, when my cab stoped outside the campside, there the manager was to check me in and follow my to my cabin. At 20 Euro, I wasn't expecting anything than a bed, but I was surpricd to find a pretty spacious cabin, with a bathroom, a fridge and an outside kitchen. The next morning I went and bought som bread and salami for my breakfast and was on my way. I could easly have stayed there a day or two more, it felt so calm and friendly.
Ah this place was great. Though its a bit of an effort to get there so make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes if you intend in walking. Lovely spacious caravan style trailers with a little patio area. Rooms spotless, absolutely no noise even though you are surrounded by these trailers so sleep quality is good. Shop on site which sells food for cooking. Cooking utensils and cutlery available. Comfortable bed. What more could you want? Would go back in a heartbeatPisa is lovely by the way. Well worth a visit.
Large campsite with small pitches, no room for an awning if you wanted your car on the pitch. There is artificial shade created with large green sheets tied overhead from poles.Toilet block was excellent, clean and large.Swimming pool - not that big bearing in mind the size of the site and you need to wear a swim cap (on sale for 2.50 euros each so buy in the UK if you can).Evening entertainment for small children.Obviously the main advantage is the close proximity to the Leaning Tower of Pisa - walk out of the site to the left - through the tunnel and you reach the souvenir stalls (extremely cheap which was quite surprising 1 euro for a Pisa tower key ring etc), walk passed the stalls and you are there - takes about 10 minutes. Recommend for sight seeing, but not for a relaxing holiday, we had initially booked 6 nights but from reading other reviews reduced this to 3 nights and this was plenty.

This was my work truck. Traded it in last year. It had 86,000 miles on trade-in. If it wasnt for 4 fuel pumps going out during the span I owned the vehicle I would have liked this vehicle better. The fuel pump w labor cost $650. Ouch! I was told by the dealer that the reason was I needed to change my gas filter every 12K. I was changing fuel pumps every 12K! Power came from a 454 cu v8. Was underpowered for pulling trailers which I do alot of. Mileage was about 12 mpg highway.
Power Seats, Power Windows. Ride quality. Adequate mileage.
Chevy needs to improve their fuel pumps. It has been an ongoing issue on their light duty truck line up for quite some time. Better clearance

Sorry, while I'll agree with most of what you said, I can't agree here. Police officers are putting their lives on the line. Someone resisting arrest has upped the likelihood of injury or death to the officer high enough that it may well warrant extreme behavior on the part of the officer.
That is not inherently the case. If I resist arrest by trying to punch the police officer in the face, by all means they should have the leeway to use necessary force. If I resist arrest simply by being uncooperative then no. I pose no risk.
We have to be very careful about authorising use of force outside cases where there's a clear danger to officer or public safety because it's not for the officer to punish you for resisting arrest, that's an extra item for the charge sheet.
But the sentiment that the cops were automatically out of line in these situations is troublesome.
The police wield state sanctioned force, a higher level of scrutiny is appropriate. Yes, there are questions about how much that should translate into liability for individual officers vs. the department as an institution, but every time the state engages in lethal, or near-lethal, force that is grounds to investigate.
Perhaps there's a cultural difference because, over here, if an officer so much as discharges a firearm there's a massive investigation; let alone if the police are involved (directly or otherwise) in a death. (Our situation isn't directly comparable as our officers don't routinely carry firearms, but I think the difference in culture is still worth noting. Also, FWIW, even when we didn't have particularly strict gun controls in the UK rank and file police officers were never routinely armed.)

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
4:14–20 The "mystery" of the parable is not its moral teaching about the hardness of human hearts. The "mystery" is to be found in the paradox that the coming of God's reign is to be identified with a fragile seed. The Son of Man who exercises all authority on earth (2:11, 27) appears as Jesus of Nazareth. The coming of the kingdom is not equally visible to everyone, although it is a kingdom of power. Those on the outside have unreceptive hearts. For those with ears to hear, the parable unveils the "mystery" of redemption, hidden in the person and work of Christ Himself (1:34 note).

This tour was very good, the tour guide was a lot of fun and she knew a lot about the Island and movies, they have a driver and a tour guide so be ready to tip both. Learned a lot about the movies that were filmed there. I recommend this if you like movies.
Reviewed by: Charles T, April 2015
A great land trip to the movie sites on Kauai. Auntie Wendy mixed the the right amount of movie facts and trivia with stops at the various filming locations for picture taking. The driver, sorry I can't remember his name, did a great job of manuvering the comfortable bus in some pretty tight places. The two worked well together. Lunch at the Wahooo restaurant was ample and tasty. Pick up and drop off at the resort made transportation easy. Trip length was just right. Complementary bottled water would have been appreciated. My wife and I would take this trip again!
