Autorenporträt

In 1994 retired teacher, Ron Schaffer joined the Cloverleaf Intergeneration program at the . Ron and four assigned sixth graders relived the senior's life story. Mr. Schaffer recalls, 'THE STUDENTS WERE SO ENTHUSIASTIC. I HAD SO MUCH FUN! It was just like being a young kid again growing up on our farm during the Great Depression". Once again, Ron was sacking wheat with the threshing crew, performing farm tasks with horses, recalling exciting pony races, dodging potential harmful accidents or playing basketball. Senior and students were sharing the excitement, toil and adventure associated with growing-up with three brothers and a sister. Ron admits "The Cloverleaf experience is responsible for sewing the seeds that initiated writing 'THE CENTER OF THE WORLD - ON THE MOVE'".
