    No! It really is Harper Lee. She was so gracious and spent so much time with the high school kids who were staging a performance of "To Kill A Mockingbird."

    Wow - she's so insightful. Really glad you posted this. I'm going to take her words here to heart and live by them. My favorite moment from this video is when she says:

    "fdjsdasdkjgkfgsajfgkvsabakvgk­asbvsvassclascas". It's too bad the feedback and camera noise and student aren't more audible, as I think they should also get a fair spotlight in this video.

    Excellent Video. 18 stars.

    There are some other vides from the same event at different times, some with still photos. Also, a video of the students stage production, a must see.

    She did talk quite a bit to the students and other people who came to meet her. She was very gracious.

    I recently read the novel Jazz Baby by Beem weeks and am convinced it's really the long awaited second book by Harper Lee. A brilliant coming-of-age tale that ought to be a required reading. I highly recommend it.
