Van Asselt, Karl

Karl Van Asselt has authored six books, published more than 60 articles in journals and magazines, and has been engaged in newspaper writing for decades. Now semi-retired, Karl elected to spend some of his free time as an elementary school volunteer. "I had no intention of writing about the volunteer experience," Karl says. "But I had repeatedly told the students that they would enjoy writing if they wrote about fun, personal experiences. I decided to follow my own good advice and write about my school experience."
