It’s another busy morning for Walnut Creek’s Barbara Proctor. With her book bag in hand, it’s showtime for the 2nd graders at Pleasanton’s Valley View Elementary."This is one of my favorite books. It’s called Clever Jack takes a C-A-K-E," said Proctor as the students screamed out ,"CAKE!"At age 88, Proctor better known as GG is about to accomplish the impossible. She will somehow get 19-eight-year-olds to sit laser focused for 45 minutes by simply reading a book.
Three days a week she reads to grade school students, and on Wednesday she volunteers at the Trinity Homeless Clothing Store in Walnut Creek – all with one thing in mind. "One of the greatest joys in life is to make someone smile. That gives me great pleasure," said Proctor.Mission accomplished! And if you need further proof, step outside during recess. GG truly is a reading rock-star surrounded by dozens of kids who all adore her.
