DULUTH, Minn. - The memory of a six year old boy who drowned at the Cloquet swimming pond is being kept alive through books.Grizzly's up on the hill hosted the 4th Annual Wyatt Hanna Memorial Book Drive Thursday. People came by to drop off new or gently used books and bid on a few silent auction items. All of the books will go to Raleigh Edison School where Wyatt went to school."When Wyatt passed he was just learning how to read, so he loved books. So maybe we can pass on that love of books to other kids and if they can't get them then we can supply them for them," said Jen Wright, a family friend.Wright hopes to raise enough money to buy kindles for the students.To date, the drive has collected more than 4,500 books for local children.
