"He gave us a whole world of wit, loyal friendship, style, and creativity, and I gave him at least this one sweet gift."

#MaryannMacDonald shares her memories of #RichardPeck @SouthernMissCBF #usmcbf. "I loved Richard, and Richard loved pie."

Her cherry pie was just about the last thing he was able to eat and enjoy.

When asked his favorite kind of pie, he said, "Pie is my favorite kind of pie."

Now that Richard's gone, no one may ever say "my land!" again.

#BennettTramer shares his memories of #RichardPeck.

He had a way with words. You have given me, given all of us so very much.

Sonya Sones shares her memories of #RichardPeck. @SouthernMissCBF #USMCBF

When he won his Newbery for A YEAR DOWN YONDER included a list of other authors who he thought also should have won that year.

Both loved dancing and hunting for treasures at estate sales. She saved every letter and postcard he ever sent her.

Lessons that he wanted students as #librarians and #teachers to share.

Patsy Perritt shares her memories of Richard Peck. @SouthernMissCBF #USMCBF

Students loved his stories. Held up a book and said, "I dont know who these people are and what they"re doing on the cover of my book."

Wished we all could have been there to see that magic. The most gifted teacher she had ever seen in his life. A wonderful writer but an even better #teacher.
