Mojave Muleskinners for their loyal, faithfulness, politeness, kindness, and
all the good Boy Scout stuff. They have supported us in every endeavor we have
asked. This latest venture - the two book signings of my novel, ACROSS THE

Stadium - Glendale, AZ "Howdy all,
Just wanted to say thank you for all the support from everyone. We had a great member turnout
and a little bit of fun to boot.
And though the event had it's share of challenges, we still performed as great as always, to a packed house, for 12 shows,
and entertained both the young and old.
I think we, as well as the crowd, enjoyed the heavier loads on Sunday.
