Author Information

Karl Van Asselt has authored six books, published more than 60 articles in journals and magazines, and has been engaged in newspaper writing for decades. Now semi-retired, Karl elected to spend some of his free time as an elementary school volunteer. I had no intention of writing about the volunteer experience, Karl says. But I had repeatedly told the students that they would enjoy writing if they wrote about fun, personal experiences. I decided to follow my own good advice and write about my school experience.
