I was blessed today to meet a magnificent woman, Dr. Temple Grandin, who gave a sold-out presentation at Lake Land College on the topic of autism. I purchased one of her books, “Animals Make Us Human,” and can hardly wait to dig into it. Dr. Grandin signed her book and took time to engage in a one-on-one conversation with me. She is a most gracious lady, full of energy and ideas, and I wish I could have the privilege of sitting down with her someday for another, lengthier conversation about her fascinating life. I’m sure I could learn a lot of things from her.

I can’t believe Temple Grandin was here in town. I am so glad you and many others got to hear her speak. I have heard many wonderful things about her from television shows that have had her on as a guest.
