We're delighted to welcome Mr Henry Winkler (aka The Fonz) to Mumsnet for a live webchat from his home in LA. Henry has transformed his own experiences of struggling through school with unidentified dyslexia into a great series of books for kids; 'Hank Ziper: The World's Greatest Underachiever'. As well as telling us about his books, Henry will be chatting about his own experiences with dsylexia, his recent tour of UK schools and of course dancing around the juke box at Arnold's Restaurant. If you can't join us on the day, post your advance questions here.

Gosh, you'd never think that a leather jacket and trunks would be a good look, but, somehow..

Your words are wise and very motivating.

My dear husband was interested to discover me participating in the webchat with Mr. Winkler. He just pointed out that the Fonz was not originally the star of Happy Days but became so, as it were, by force of character.

morningpaper · 06/07/2009 21:56

He might be good for mowing the lawn I suppose
