"I love that story, Bruce.
I think that's a beautiful
book." Barbara Bush
on August 24th.
I autographed and
Barbara Bush read
Grandfather's Trolley,
at the
Seashore Trolley Museum
in Kennebunkport, Maine.
It was the biggest event at
the trolley museum in almost twenty years.
This is where I photographed the book. It was a treat to introduce Mrs. Bush to the people featured in Grandfather's Trolley.
Springvale Public Library
reopening includes
The Bruce McMillan Corner
The million-dollar-renovated Springvale Public Library, my local library, is open. The children's room features The Bruce McMillan Corner with all of my books. On permanent display are nine of the original hand-tinted photographs from Grandfather's Trolley. The sequential series of "trolley" photos wrap around half the room on two walls, six of the photos facing you as you enter the children's room. The room colors, yellow and red, match the yellow and red trolley - and the girls' hair ribbon too.

Kennebunk Free Library
Kennebunk, Maine
On Friday October 19, 2001 I attended a reception honoring the library's original children's book art collection on permananet display. I suprised the children's librarian, Janet Cate, not only by showing up, but showing up with a donation, the "waiting for the trolley at the Arundel station" page from Grandfather's Trolley. I graduated from Kennebunk High School. The Kennebunk area was originally called Arundel.
This is the fourth library or museum where art from Grandfather's Trolley is on display.
