More DescriptionLarry Schulenberg's life drastically changed when he awoke one morning and discovered that polio, without warning, had taken away his ability to walk. During the intervening years, he's done more than merely survive. He has become a husband, teacher, parent, and principal. Nearly a decade ago, Mr. Schulenberg was confronted by post polio syndrome and was forced to call an end to his career in education. Then, his son was incarcerated as a result of an addiction. So the former principal became an activist for reforming the federal sentencing laws and remained a loving husband and father. This inspirational memoir, To Catch the Snowflakes, tells the story of a little boy who was encouraged by his mother to do more than sit and watch the snowflakes fall to the ground and melt and so spent his life catching them.
