NY Times best-selling author Greg Mortenson visits Columbia Falls Junior High
| May 30, 2008 |  View for printing |
Greg Mortenson started his talk to Columbia Falls Junior High students last week in a somewhat unusual way.
He asked everyone to join him by removing his or her shoes.
"In any school in Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of Africa students do this because they are so honored to go to school," he explained. "I just can't go into a school without taking my shoes off."
Mortenson is the co-author of the national best seller "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time." http://www.threecupsoftea.com/AboutGreg.php
