Welcome to EXCERPTS from 'The Challenge!  On this page you will go beyond the words in the book and be able to see INSIDE the story with family photographs and documents. My goal is to take you deeper into the story. Enjoy!

The 'GREEN CHAIR'

Yes, there really is a 'green chair' that you

might have imagined seeing me sit in while writing and reading my letters. Funny how a simple chair can become your safe place.....your comfortable place.....a chair that has absorbed my tears and rocked with my happiness. This is it.  I'm guessing this chair could tell quite a story itself.

How many 
writers have
the opportunity to have that 'special place' to gather

themselves to be inspired and motivated to write. I wanted my readers to be able to see my 'special place.'  This beautiful cabin located just minutes from our Oregon home provided days of beauty, blue skies, and the warmth of the central Oregon sun..  So lucky. 

Tonydon.jpg

Tony was a beautiful and fun-loving little boy, growing up in the small community of Oelwein, Iowa (population 6500) until the family moved to Bend, Oregon when Tony was entering 7th grade at Pilot Butte Middle School.

 

Tony is shown in this photograph with his Uncle Don Mazziotti and holding a favorite toy (he still has today).
