Last Tuesday, we had the exciting opportunity to Skype with author and sled dog racer, Ed White. Mr. White is the author of Foxy’s Tale. The story is exciting to read as it tells about Ed’s daughter, Kelly, and her time racing their dog, Foxy. What makes it especially cute is that the story is told by Foxy. Mr. White shared video and photos of Kelly and Foxy during the Skype. We found out that Foxy got her name because they thought she looked like a fox.

Mr. White and Family
The children had fun asking questions about Foxy, sled dog racing and becoming a writer. Mr. White is originally from our area and attended a local Catholic school (Holy Trinity) as a child and use to serve Mass at our church. He now lives in State College, PA. He may stop by for an in person visit later this month when he will be in town for a high school reunion. You can learn more about Mr. White and his book by visiting his website www.foxystale.com

My students and I were thrilled when Mr. White stopped by for a quick visit last Friday! He answered a few more questions, gave us Foxy’s Tale magnets, and posed for photos.
