In fact I used to live quite close to Margate Intermediate School (now it has a different name) and I went to PVHS, from which I graduated way back in the '80s. I still visit when I can.

I grew up in PV and after reading in "Meet Dan White" that you are "from Palos Verdes, CA," I'm curious, when and where did you live "on the hill"? Did you attend high school there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28570556.post-74236882765690200342008-09-30T22:28:00.000-07:002008-09-30T22:28:00.000-07:00thank you!

I was in So.Cal for a bunch of events in the late summer including the American Library Association conference and a couple of events in the South Bay (where I was born and raised. )Lately I've been doing a bunch of events mostly in northern California and the Bay Area -- but I would love to swing back down there again this year.

I can't get over how often you describe your girlfriend in the book so I hop online to find a picture of her and find your blog. <BR/><BR/>I've now spent the last hour or so reading most if not all of your old entries and they are just as brilliantly written as your book. <BR/><BR/>When are you doing any appearances in SoCal? I love the bay area, but a bit of reciprocal respect to the south land is being requested here. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for being a great writer, you're bringing me loads of entertainment lately and I'm really thankful for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
