A 2009 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ASKS ABOUT JACK KEROUAC by Katie Marples and Walt Klappert

Katie Marples, a Junior at the Ursuline Academy, a private Catholic girls’ High Scholl in Cincinnati, interviewed Walt Klappert, Producer and Coauthor of the play “Beat,” about Jack Kerouac.  Here is how it went . . .
