A friend bought me this book, "The Man Who Moved a Mountain", as a gift. I enjoyed it so much, I read it twice. I loaned it to several friends. Now, I don't know what happened to it. I'm sure you would all enjoy reading it. It can probably be borrowed at any of the libraries in the New River area. Is there a link to the brochure?
