Hi all,
We just returned from our eventful trip to Arizona and New Mexico wqhere we were working on a partnership with the Navajo Department of Education and the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation. The “Little Black, a Pony” Navajo translation book, is going to be distributed all across the Navajo reservation. That might not sound like a BIG deal but it is … it took a few years and lots of help to get the people in place to make it happen … in all four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado)!
I want to send a special THANK YOU out to our friends in Window Rock that helped SO much … Irving and all your friends are doing a Great job. Thanks again Louise, and special thank you to Mr. Ayze and all the council members.
I have included the description of the partnership if you are interested in the details … it’s a beautiful world in the southwest … visit soon and often!
A special event is scheduled for Jun 5, 2009 in Window Rock, AZ. Read more
Hope you all are doing great! Saw the sunrise on the beach, a beautiful start to a wonderful day.
Take a look at this video of Kelly Reno my good friends Todd & Dr. Anna Marie (of the Weather channnel) shot a few weeks ago;

Thought you might might like this Readers Digest story about my dad from 1963 … Like the “horse whisperer” expression which he used in the 1958 “Horse Tamer”, he always could spot a good phrase.
Have a sweet day!

Walter is a changed man,” Rosemary Farley told my wife one night at the Venice, Fla., Yacht Club. “That white jacket he’s wearing came back from the cleaners today with two spots on the right sleeve. Normally he would have hit the ceiling. This time he just smiled and put it on and went in to kiss the kids goodnight.”
A little later one of the members tripped and dumped his martini into Walter’s lap. I was sitting next to him, and I drew back politely to give him room in which to-explode. “Don’t worry,” Walter smiled at the chagrined man. “It will dry in a few minutes.”
