History is written by the victors and, therefore, the entire story is never told. This is certainly true of women's contributions. History has largely ignored t...

With friend Geoffrey Braslow he founded VIPS (volunteers in police service) and he remained active in both Tehachapi and Bear Valley...

While most of his songs and stories are simply about relationships -- with his wife, children, parents and life itself – there is nothing that sounds simple about them.
