<p></p><p>CAROL CARLISLE Carol Carlisle always wanted to write stories. Many of her stories are not in print, but are imprinted on the minds and hearts of her children and grandchildren. Carol’s stories have been told to her children and, now her grandchildren, as a means to ease restless children into peaceful slumber at the end of a long day. Mr. Wacka Backa Boo is a favorite, for in their slumber, the children have dreamed of real-life encounters with the animals. Bohemia the leopard, Bumps the turtle, Skiger and other imaginary zoo animals often find their way into the youngsters’ bedrooms to be fed and snuggled before being sent back to the zoo. And, as storytellers, Carol’s grandchildren excel as they describe, with great embellishment, these fantastic encounters.</p>
