Wow, 96. I can't even imagine what all he experienced throughout his life.
He sounds fantastic.
I am going to be working with you tomorrow at the Young Adult Literature Conference in Huntsville, TX. I am really excited to get to meet you! See you (way too early) tomorrow. ;-)

The guy had so much more compassion, curiosity, and intelligence than most everyone else in the field. He was like a modern Walt Whitman, listening to janitors and soldiers and the homeless immigrants on the street corner and making us listen to them in turn.
He was also always interested in teens, and in the issues that affected them, as this list of his programs (including interviews with Tobias Woolf and Judith Guest) shows.

Best fictional-sounding name for a non-fiction writer ever.
Studs showed that real people mattered in a world full of fakes.
