Our visitors were impressed with the Johnson City Public Library, especially the children's room. They told us there were no children's libraries in China. They did not quite believe us when we said we could read about anything. They challenged us to produce something by Mao. And of course, we could. Above: Terry Knight with Guo and Yi in the children's room. Below 1: Guo enjoys the upstairs reading room. Below 2: Mao's little red book.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
