School District Supt. Dave LaRose won a whole grandstand of new fans –from 3 to Don’t Ask – early last evening at the Julian Dixon Library, and reporter/photographer George N. Laase incisively captured every fibre on film for the ages.

A new corner of the community has learned the new Super is special.

Joined by his wife Mindi, Mr. LaRose in a spirited but soothing voice, animatedly, paternally devoted 45 flying but memorable minutes to a hungry, appreciative juvenile audience at the library’s every-Tuesday Bedtime Stories program.

“It took him less than a minute to win the children over,” Mr. Laase reported.

Is it any wonder?

Study those contorting facial expressions.

His and the children’s.

The eloquent body language he articulates.

In the two months and two days since Mr. LaRose parachuted into Culver City, if there is one principle he has unalterably established, it is that he is the tidiest, most debonair, most faultless dresser in the community. Looks casual.

Probably just strolled out of Brooks Brothers.

Not by accident did he choose this shirt from his closet.

Mr. LaRose’s assignment was to read two stories, “Dora the Explorer” and the reason for his selection of shirt and necktie, “Harold and the Purple Crayon.”

He played and lived the part, just as Olivier would have.
