I remember you with great fondness. I recently was cleaning out my Dad's house in connection with a downsizing move he made earlier this year, and I came across some things we did in the library with you. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm for reading and your overall great attitude. I will never forget you. I hope that you enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

I didn't realize that she was pretty new when I did my first reviews for her...long ago. She really helped me to be a better reviewer. So happy for Trev.

She must be the one who wrote the questions for non-fiction submissions and always seemed to have time to ask for a detail or clarification. Good luck to Kiera Parrott and everyone at SLJ. Somehow, I don't think Trev will be less busy, just differently occupied. I can testify to Trev’s high standards.
