“And as I mentioned last night, regarding the loss of Dolly Parton, it's amazing she reached across all people in America. And the fact that on the news last night, they acknowledged that over almost 9,000 families in central Oregon have been recipients. Their kids have been recipients of books through Dolly's program, over 200 million books. We all know how important reading is, and hopefully someone will step up and continue her tradition because it's really to be commended. Her music was fabulous, but her reading was probably even bigger.”
