Donna's Journal
August 7, 2005


   I'm not playing off and just basking in the sun this August of 2005 but I have been very busy with trying to get the third book edited. I will be putting those corrected, pages up for everyone who wish to enjoy. The story of my Dad and his struggles throughout a lifetime gives me a way to cope with all the anger and frustration that can go on in a personal way. We all have to endure death, loss, failures, and disappointments and sometimes,  these things can get in our way to keep us from going forward with what we know should be done. By confronting these demons on paper,  in my father's, mother's and my life has given me a way to help myself and my loved one's as well.  If we can open up an book and see the weaknesses hopefully therein lies the beginning of overcoming so that we can progress.

    Like everyone else I've been sorrowful by events to come upon us as a nation. It was my belief as it was my father's that these weaknesses in our national make-up can be overcome. He was up against that old nemesis,  that philosophy of lazy minds which lead down the paths of least resistance for  the use of promoting oil by huge cartels. He couldn't turn that movement. Today though we come to a place where that belief is actually placing wealth in the pockets of our enemies.

    I am encouraged to see a turning away from this, back to a place where inventive, creative contractors are going to solar heat, wind power, and even on the national level there is a creation of a hydrogen operated motor that will run on water.  (remember the one in the story my Grandfather had a fit about, and the one that blew Dad out of his laboratory?)

    So you see, dear-reader, you and I, together, we will have, on our small plane,  made a difference. You with your feedback encouraging me and I,  in my stumbling, bumbling efforts  along with poor writing skills to bring these inspirations to a public anxious to do their part for fighting for the good earth of their planet and country.
