Ryan Smithson, author of Ghosts of War, the true story of his time in came to visit us before the end of the 2009-1010 school year.

Ryan spent each period of the day reading passages from his memoir and answering questions from students and teachers about his time as an army engineer in Iraq. He says that writing about what his experiences helps him in his recovery, as well as visiting schools and talking about it. A pizza lunch was offered, and some teachers brought in side dishes of their own. (Jacob really enjoyed Mrs. Clute’s salad, by the way!) Mrs. Gray and Mr. Cardetinno’s global history classes spent their class period in attendance.

We had the honor of speaking to T.K. Welsh, the author of Ressurection Men, through Skype. It was a lot of fun, and we learned a lot of details on the book, as well as the experience of writing. In this picture are Welsh, Dylan Antalek, Brittany Lasher, Tara Resch, David Wilday, and club president Jacob DeBoer. If you are one of these people, please leave a comment on the T.K. Welsh’s website.
