The Minnesota Twins baseball players sign autographs for kids before every Sunday home game. It means so much to the kids and the players know that giving a little time, saying a few kind words, making a memory--these are important things to do for the kids.

My son, Alex Trivette had amazing crew (rowing) coaches. These men, Matthew A. Goetz (far left) and Dewayne Rabateau demanded and mode" led excellence from all of their rowers both on the water, at the boathouse, and while in school. As a parent, I was thrilled for my son to have outstanding role models in his life in addition to his wonderful father. I knew my son liked his coaches; however, I realized how much he respected and admired them when last Halloween he and some of his friends "dressed up" as their coaoches for Halloween!

This is a 30x 40 inch original oil on canvas. I was asked to paint an image to be used on tee shirts, stationary, etc. for an American Cancer Society Relay for Life in the small town where I live: Havana Florida. It helped raise 64,000 from this little town for the cause. I still own the painting and it is shown in a frame shop in Tallahassee, Florida. It won Best of Show at Creative Tallahasse, City Hall, Tallahassee.FL.2006 I can send a higher resolution image if you need it
Thank you

Photograph taken in TN exemplifying a unique geologic and plant growth structure with extending view of the background sky during a heavy mist. We are as grounded as these objects, if we believe in ourselves and our values. We are examples of strength, as the geologic structure is, personifying time, education, experience and flexibility; while still standing strong to our morals and ethics and to share with the world alike.
