If you head down to your local bookstore , you should be able to pick up a book about him .... his biography . I remember seeing one at our local bookstore and it wasn't really expensive .... maybe $15 Canadian . Worth the money , cuz your daughter will have all the info she needs to get a A+ ... plus your hubby will have bathroom reading material . :blah:
