I've been contacted by Aaron three times in last six years. I will say his response to being told that we couldn't mail him prizes was much better last year than it was six years ago. He used to be a bit pushier. I'm surprised he isn't trying for adult summer reading programs at this point though.

I talked to him over the phone.He is a character. I did mail him a prize (I talked him into paying for shipping). I didn't see the harm, and it was during COVID so our numbers were dismal...Maybe I've enabled him a little?
