These are things that I have written … some fiction, some fact … over the years. I hope you enjoy one of them.

The Last Mammoth, Hungry Man, and the Short Faced Bear
The very last Columbia Mammoth may have died in Huntington Canyon. Even if it wasn’t the very last one, everything about it was special. I wrote this story about what might have happened.
Dedicated to Carlo Matekovic. How I miss him.

The Ant
I wrote The Ant at least a dozen years ago. It’s based on a real experience. I sat in the hot desert sun for several hours watching the ant and meditating about it. It had something to say to me about what was happening in my own life at the time.
Watching and thinking about the things around us can do more to teach us about ourselves than a dozen highly-educated doctors. I recommend it.

Zion Lodge Stories wins the Z-Arts Zion Centennial Writing Contest
(Non-fiction)
Zion National Park will be holding their 100th Anniversary celebration in 2009 and one of the things they plan to do is invite the old employees back for a reunion. They’re inviting former employees at the Park to contribute their memories. I decided that this is exactly the place to write them.
If you worked for Zion Park or one of their concessioners, contact Karen Mayne, Centennial Program Coordinator, at karen_s_mayne@nps.gov or 435-772-0210.
