Can We Keep Them?: A True StoryCan We Keep Them? A True Story is based on the true story of the time the author and his two children, Noel (7) and Carly (4), raised four baby geese that appeared in their yard by chance one spring. Since the author is a biologist and teacher, they had already had many types of pets, but the geese were the most unique.

Can We Keep Them? A True Story is based on the true story of the time the author and his two children, Noel (7) and Carly (4), raised four baby geese that appeared in their yard by chance one spring. Since the author is a biologist and teacher, they had already had many types of pets, but the geese were the most unique.

As a result of being allowed to raise them to adulthood, both children learned about the responsibility of raising young wild animals, which eventually have to be returned to nature, where they belong. In addition, they came to respect and understand that we have a duty to learn about, appreciate, and be kind to animals, allowing them to live their own lives based on what is best for them. This allows all of us to see ourselves as being part of, and being connected to, nature.

About the Author

Mr. LaFrance has always been interested in the natural world, and received his undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of New Hampshire and was given a teaching assistantship to Northeastern University, where he earned his Master's degree in Biology. His teaching experience spans 30 years at both the high school and college levels. He also played for years and is also a big fan of ice hockey, wherever it is being played. In his spare time, the author enjoys spending time outdoors, whether in the woodlands or on his boat at sea. He has explored many diverse places, from the Arctic to tropical rainforests, but his favorite activity has always been scuba diving, something he has done since a young teen. He has also spent extended periods of time at sea conducting marine science research. He hopes that young readers will develop an interest in science and enjoy all the things that the natural world and creatures have to offer us.

My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
