• 0:26
  Speaker 1: morning everybody. Good morning Aaron, Yes, sir, how are you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: doing today, sir?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Thank glass be here. Thank you for
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: having me well.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you for serving our nation, sir, and continuing to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: do so by reaching into the lives of young imaginations
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to give them a hope and give them a path
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to where they can follow and look at everything around them.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, absolutely, Where.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Did that journey begin for you? Because I mean, awareness
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is so keen to everybody, but so many people tend
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to tune out of it. I don't understand why they do.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But we need people like yourself to be able to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: step up and say you're missing out on a lot
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: if you would just take a look and make it fun.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Now are you talking about where to begin in terms
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: of the book or back to military days?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: How about both of them. Because those military days have
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: led to this book. I believe that before anything happens
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in our moment of now, there is a story.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that as well.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it was, you know, in the mid eighties
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and all young men like myself at the time Top
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Cone had just come out. I wanted to go be
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a pilot in the Air Force, and so got my
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: private license.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And when I was in college and got my commission
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: through artc at Florida State University and the Multi Flight
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: school I went. I got there in loti hole.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Although I could fly to jet as well as anybody,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: my body for some reason just could not physiologically adapt
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to that environment. And so about every five or six
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: times that I fly, I would get airsec. So there
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: came a point, Yeah, there came a point when the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Air Force said, all right, Gillspie.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You know, safety of flight, you know.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And although it was extremely disappointing because I growing up
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: as a kid and wanting to go fly, and but
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you know, understand it and you have to pivot, you know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: The Lord says you got to pitvot and go a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: different direction.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Right, And so I was newly married at the time to.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: My lovely wife. We're going to be celebrating forty years
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: And we said, okay, Now what the Air Force said, Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you can stay in or you can get out. If
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: you want to stay in, We're going to send you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to intelligence training. And I thought to myself, well, I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: know I'm not the sharpest tool and the tool shed.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I know I don't have.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The best grades, but if the Air Force wants to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: give me some more intelligence, I'm.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: All for it. So off we went to Uh. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: had to get on get out their mount and say
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: where are we headed, you know?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And it was in West Texas at San Angelo, Texas,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: good Feller Air Force Base. We're intelligence training is and
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: uh and little behold, it wasn't about giving me intelligence.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: It was about learning about you know that our enemies
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: that are threatening our nation state, you know, is so
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: learning about them, tracking them, finding them, Uh and uh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you know, putting the beat on the target when we
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: need to. And so from there, twenty years later we
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: had moved.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: We had home the same.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Stuff on different walls, walls, twelve or thirteen different moves
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: from a family standpoint, and then I had a number
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of deployments throughout there as well, and so it was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Really just an incredible fun ride.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And if anybody, you know, young, young man or lady
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: out there who's listening, you know, has an opportunity to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: go serve our nation through the profession of arms, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: would not hesitate for a second.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And it was exciting. And then you're right, I retired,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: and then here we are a few years later. I'm
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: now sixty one, grandfather of four, proud father of two,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: you know, proud.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Husband of forty on those forties to my.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Wife, and now a proud debut author of a children's
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: picture book.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think I fit the typical mold, but.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Here I am.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But that's what's great about writing and to be able
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to create like that, because I mean, first of all,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you had the courage to share this book with your family.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And the book we're talking about for listeners is flu
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Flocky Do, which I first of all, I don't even
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: know how you even wrote that without sitting there tripping
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: over it and saying can I say it five times
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in a row, which I think would be a great
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: game for kids.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right, and so listen.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: But I've got to give all credit to our youngest
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: daughter Hunter.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's the one that imagined when.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: She was Now now she's a mom, she's married, a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: mom of her own, and has gifted us with two
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: of our four beautiful grandkids.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But when she was four years old.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: At the time, so this is twenty six years ago,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: she came to the dinner table and put a plate
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: of food in front of.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Me and said, miss flue Flock, you do is here
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to serve you?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: And I and I and my wife and I with
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: two kids, young kids at the time, we were immersed
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: in the world of picture books. And I looked at
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: my I looked at her and I said, where did
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: you see or read about hers? Because I just made
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: her up. And I immediately looked at my wife and
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: we both thought, well, that could be the lead character
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: in a children's picture book one day. And so so
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I really did nothing for the next twenty some odd years.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Procrastination got a big vote, and it was last summer,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: so we're talking summer of twenty twenty five. My wife
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: looked at me and says, all right, Dave, we've got
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: four grandkids between one and five. If you want them
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: to read this book that you've been thinking about writing.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Now's the time to do it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: So we put a big push on last year and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: the fun The inspiration of the story, all the inspiration
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: of the character was from our daughter Hunter. The inspiration
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: for the story was from true, real events that happened
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: in our in our family. So the story wrote itself.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And when I wrote it, it was really just were
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: We were perfectly happy if it was only going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: be see the family heirloom shelf and that was it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: But then once we wrote it and got it out there,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and friends and little kids and others.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Said, man, you need to share this with the world.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's just a It's a great book for multiple reasons.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: So we did, and and er, I'mtonia. It's already yesterday,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I picked up two more. It's over.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It's one in four months, over fifty teen literary awards,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: and so we couldn't be more placed.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'll tell you what. I love me
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: some Lucky lou And the reason why is because I'm
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a firm believer that the squirrel is my tote of animal.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: As much as I wanted to be the wolf for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the or the elephant, the more I dig into a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: squirrel and then to find out that Lucky lou is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in this book, and Lucky has some fun. It's like, oh,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of course, my squirrel is a dang totem animal.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right, you know, And again that was that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: happened in our family.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: So so for the readers who haven't had a chance
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: to pick up a copy or read the story or
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: go to our website and learn about this, yeah, we
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: got the main character assisted by her favorite pet sidekick.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: And a huntingbird named Peanut.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We named the bird after the nickname of our oldest
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: daughter who was always very petite and petite dead and
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: now she I mean she was a gymnast growing up,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: as well as our youngest daughter too, but so we
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: named the humming bird Peanut.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Well, between the two of them, they find this baby
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: squirrel in rescue it. That happened in our family. They
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: raised it. That happened in our family.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: And then uh, and then, just like a lot of
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: young kids when they think, you know, there's a wise
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: thing to do and it turns out not so wise,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: she decides flu the characters to smuggle the squirrel to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: do the grocery store. Yeah, on a trip with mom
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that actually happened in our family. And of course when
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you get to the store, what happens, the squirrel gets loose.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: That actually happened in our family. So all of that happened.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And uh, and of course uh in the book, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the squirrel causes a lot of comedic chaos.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Uh. And it was just it was just a hilarious
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: thing to write, and it was funny.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It was a rhyming book, which was hard. I never
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: set out to write a rhyming children's picture book. That
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: was a lesson in and of itself.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Lieutenant David L.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Gillispie coming up next. The name of the book flu
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Flucky Doo to the rescue. We are back with Lieutenant
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: David L. Gillispie. David, this is why we have future writers.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: They need people like yourself to inspire them to even
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: go on there rhyme. I don't care if a child
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: can't rhyme, but they think it rhymes, I don't care.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It was still inspired by someone like you who took
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a chance in releasing a book such as this, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that inspired them to become a writer themselves at such
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: an early age. Now we have to encourage them to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: believe in it just like you believe in it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: The uh So, when we started writing the book again,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: what I thought, initially, six hundred word children's picture book,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: How hard can that be? Ero I'm telling you, I've
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: got about.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty different versions of a six hundred
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: word manuscript. And people say what, and I say, well,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: partly because it rhymes. It did not start out that way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: But then as we get into the book and throughout
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: this book, you know, when the character finds herself at
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a predicament, she goes, what should I do?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Thought feends what you do? Who do? Who? I know?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: What to do?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: And I couldn't get away from the rhyming, and I thought, well,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: let's just embrace it. Because in children's picture book ages
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: published traditional public service and I self published this.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, every one of them will tell you,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: do not write a rhyming children's pripture book because it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: so hard to do. And so that's why I have
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty or so manuscripts, is because if
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I saved the manuscript today and tomorrow, I changed one
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: word in that manuscript trying to get just the right beat,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the right meter.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: It became a new version.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And the importance of that was when I was now
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: nearing the finish line of this book and there were
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: just a couple of spots that was like, man, this
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: is not quite it. I went back to manuscript thirty
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: seven or forty whatever. In fact, there was found a
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: word or two that was in the manuscript back then
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: but in coming come out for whatever reason. And now
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: that's it. And it went back in the manuscript and
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: it made it whole. And so anyway, and so doing that,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: now the book is serving kind of to your point
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: about inspiration of children, it's serving now two purposes. The
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: book is not only serving as a great read aloud
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: book by a parent, by a sibling, by a grandparent,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: you know, uh, you know, producing memories by sitting there
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: in the bed or on the couch in a chair
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: with a child at a young age.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: But it's also because it's such a fun book to
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: read and because it rhymes, it is serving as a
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: fantastic early reader book for young children learning how to read.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And I know that you and others have talked about
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: this on your show about the critical how critically important
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: it is for when that kid hits third grade, that's
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: when they're transitioning from learning how to read to reading
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to learn. Because fourth grade and on, eighty eighty five
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: percent of the knowledge that child will consume is through
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: the act of reading.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Is so.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, in third grade, only about roughly forty five
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: to fifty percent of our children nationwide are actually reading
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: at grade level, which tells that half of our kids
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: are behind in their learning journey.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And so how do we address that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: We produce and our way, our little you know, attempt
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to to add to that problem or add to the solution,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: so to speak, is produce a book that a kid
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: will love to have read to them, will love to read,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and help develop that appetite of a love to read.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: And so with the rhyme structure, it's produced all of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: that as well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: This is what my wife said about the book, because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: she's a school teacher, and she said, this is one
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of those books where kids go, mine, this is mine, mine,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and it's one of those where you're going to go,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it's yours, and then they keep it for years to come.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But I do have to ask you a very inquisitive question,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and it must be the journalist in me or the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: forty six year professional in broadcasting. Okay, so the setup
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is blueberry jellyfootprints. Does that qualify as a spill or
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: are those tracks to follow? Because I need to know
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: do I need to clean it up? Or do I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: need to study this so we can find out what's
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: going on here?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: You know, the blueberry jelly.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: None of that actually happened, so to speak, in the story,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: but it runed and it fit the story, and I.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Thought it was a fun, teamorous way, you know, to kind.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Of bring the story here at end and then and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: then uh, you.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Know, and then of course, speaking of the end, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we had to we had to figure out, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: how do we get Flu now out of this predicament.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: She's now Peanut the hummingbird has now successfully helped Flu
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: recapture the squirrel, and we're at the end, and of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: course she has smoke with the squirrel without Mom's knowledge,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: and and so we had to figure out and initially
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: this is where this is where arrow, you know, you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: husbands and fathers like you and I, you know, we
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: want to lean in and say, you know, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: why did you do this?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You know, Flu's like you do, you know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Mama sternly asked, right, you know, and and my wife said, no, no, no, no, no,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: We've got to give this a soft landing, because ideally,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you want kids to learn the lesson on their own.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: You don't want them to be lectured at ideal, you want.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Them to learn it on their own kind of you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: they could be guided and prouded, so to speak.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So that's why we gave it the landing where we did.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Where Mommy, you know, softly asked why did you bring Lou?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: And then of course we have the main characters say,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you know what, I realized that wasn't the best thing
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to do. I should have left Lou, you know, safely
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: at home back of the house, right and so, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: we wanted to do that because we the whole purpose
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: of this character is we wanted it to instill.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: We wanted a character.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: That radiates confidence, confidence and fun and spunk and and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: just a zest and a love and happiness for life.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Uh there, there's my goodness.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Our world is complicated enough, right, and we don't need
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: to we don't need to over complicate.
