Tim Davis got into trouble at age 12 for reading Treasure Island under his blankets by flashlight when he was supposed to be sleeping. When he grew up, he pursued his love of children’s literature by earning a PhD in English and teaching Children’s Literature at university. He left academia in order to move to the San Francisco Bay Area and teach elementary school under an emergency program that let college graduates teach if they worked in the inner city. Tim Davis still lives in the Bay Area with his family, and recently began writing a series of children’s books that he hopes will get some other kids in trouble for reading under the blankets with a flashlight.

My Dad Died

Jack C. Davis (1923-2011) was an abstract expressionist artist, who painted until the day he died. You can see his work at http://www.glowingstar.net/jackcdavis/ . He lived in Connecticut and we live in San Francisco, but we spoke on the phone two or three times a day. He had a great sense of humor. We miss you, Dad.

BTW the C. stands for Coville in his name, my name, and in my son's name. This tradition of giving the middle name Coville to the eldest son of the eldest son goes back in my Dad's family for generations.

That's a very cool name tradition.
