Quotes by Allan Woodrow (?)

“I could write about how minks wanted to make the world a better place. I could write about how he never gave up, even when he failed...........That's what made Mr. Minks so wondertastic. He never stopped trying. He didn't let one setback keep him down. I think that's a great lesson for everyone.”
