Tim sent a gift copy of the hardcover version of his book to the Mt. View Library. In it he writes the following message:

"To the students of Mt. View High School,

Get the most that you can out of your studies. That's how you will discover the teachers and ideas that will change the way you see the world. Then be sure to pass on that new way of seeing to others. If you do they will come to see the world differently too. That's how you change the world, one day and one good deed at a time. I wrote this book to take part in that process of change. I hope that it helps you see our world differently.

Tim Hodgdon, MVHS Class of 1975"
