The Washington Post

I was contacted by a staff writer for the Travel section of The Washington Post, Andrea Sachs, about the fairy doors in Ann Arbor.

She came to town and interviewed my wife, Kathleen and me. Together with her friend/co-worker and her friend's sister (a UofM student) we took a tour of some of the doors. It was a lot of fun...I imagine I talked their ears off, with Kathleen's help! Kathleen is a professional talker!...a Kindergarten teacher and a story teller.

This is what Andrea wrote :
