Today I got an exciting peice of mail from little Madie Pelt. Madie attends school in Greenwood, AR near my hometown. Madie’s first grade class just finished reading the story of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. For those of you who don’t know the story here’s a recap.

One night as Stanley is sleeping a huge bulletin board falls on top of him. He is not injured, just flattened! Stanley soon finds that being flat has a lot of advantages. He has many adventures such as sliding under doors, being a kite for his brother, and he even poses as a painting to help catch some sneaky art thieves! When Stanley’s parents can’t afford a plane ticket for Stanley to visit his friend in California, his dad decides to mail him in a large envelope. Madie’s class decided to make their own Flat Stanley’s and send them to someone special. I feel honored that Madie would think of me! Madie’s mom Angie and I have been friends for over 20 years!

Stanley will be hanging out with me and my family for a few weeks. He’ll be “on the air” with me on Mix 106.7 and will also accompany me on a trip to Nashville next week. So if you see me coming with a camera in one hand and Flat Stanley in the other….just smile because you’re part of Stanley’s exciting adventure in Northeast Arkansas!
