1957
Five-year-old Scott Bennett, son of NIU Biological Sciences Professor Jack Bennett, writes to his father to tell him the exciting parts of his travels. Although a child’s letter may seem overly simplistic, it shows that even basic reiterations of experiences like a “big train . . . go bounce-bounce” can be viewed as important from the author’s perspective.
