Harmon. We couldn't
have been prouder than to pose for a picture with our grand prize
winner Matthew C. Harmon. Matthew's dream is to be a writer
when he grows up. He even has his first series planned. Here
is s picture that Mr. Brege drew of Matthew's myth for his winning
story entry. It was so wonderful to meet everyone at Starr

2-9-07 What great
fun I had popping in for a quick visit to Hillside Elementary to
give our second runner up Saswat Sahoo his gift. It was great
to chat with such a wonderful group of writers! Yes, that's
you Mrs. Vlahos class, you are truly writers! Also, a special
thanks to Mrs. Vlahos, and her lovely student teacher for inspiring
their students! The students were really thrilled to see a
drawing that Darrin did from Saswat's story! |

Nothing is more touching than to see these students in
their re-built libraries in Nichols and Gorenflo Elementary Schools
in Biloxi, Mississippi. After the horrible events of hurricane
Katrina, Darrin and I contributed cases of books to help them stock
their shelves, so these beautiful, peaceful pictures of children
having a place to read again means so much to us! Also, if you
look closely, their t-shirts say 'Home Again.' We're so glad
that we could help. Thanks Merrie Campbell for contacting
us! |

people! |

12-23-06 Courtside at the Palace of Auburn
Hills. Detroit Pistons vs Atlanta Hawks.
A great big thanks to our friends who got us courtside
recently for a Pistons game! Mick is a huge basketball
fan. And in the last pic, just in case you don't recognize him
without his face guard...it's Mick's favorite player Rip
Hamilton. |
