Meeting Dr. Temple Grandin

Surreal and invoking to meet one of my all-time heroes. Dr. Temple Grandin spoke with passion, humor, indignation, conviction, and good common sense at the Paramount tonight. I consider myself very lucky to have been in her company.

Photographed at the book signing behind her with the white hair is Duncan Strauss, who provided an engaging interview.

Without words, about to meet one of my all-time living heroes.

Temple asks who to write the book out to, notices I have her old book (not the one she was selling tonight).

The moment in which she told me to "Teach your craft."

Thrilled.

She says I should teach. Well, OK then!
