When tasked to ask someone their favorite poem and explain why for a school assignment, fourth-grader Claire Gottschalk decided to reach out to Kansas State’s Bill Snyder.

Snyder was nice enough to respond! He revealed that his favorite poem is called “Grandpa” by Bob Quigley because his grandpa was an important figure in his life.

Very cool.
