What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "My goal is to write books that will tell the young readers that engaging in healthy sports and fitness activities will give them a feeling of joy, fun, respect for others, and a sense of fair play. My greatest motivators and critics have been my wife, Amaryllis, daugther Clarissa, and son Bob, Jr., who often remind me of how the playground and elementary school programs helped me as a young boy growing up in Chicago. Many of my best moments occur when talking to young boys and girls during the special library and school-community programs."
