Welcome to the inaugural writers hour at James Madison university. We are glad you are here. I want to thank the provost, the first person that i post about in this series. The everyone at the communications further help promoting the event. The we wouldnt be here so thanks to you. We also wouldnt be without john grisham. He should have his own show. Before i met him i knew he was generous with his time and money and you cant go three days and i got to know him most would agree he was a gravedigger and never met someone that for their fame so blithely. Hes a regular person. But of course he is a famous writer. In one place that sold a quarter of a billion bucks and another place he sold 300 million so at some point you throw in the towel and say a boatload. This is academia there is no keeping it loose but here we are on stage in academia. Weve probably got john on the cool side of the mountain where he belongs and i hope he becomes a regular visitor. Please welcome our friend and bene
