Hmmm, I've been thinking about what non-fiction book I would write. I've considered writing about the way we saved an amusement park from developers. I actually have interviews of all the major players and a lot of minor players that I did after we made it. I can't remember the number now, but i think we raised 7 million dollars in 6 weeks. Kids did lemonade stands, two of us organized a telethon on local TV that raised 40,000. We didn't really have one or two "Angels" the community raised at least 75% of it.
It was 10 years ago, when I lived at the lake. I don't think I worked more than a couple days that whole month. Marilyn Maye was at every single event we did. I've never interviewed her about it, I should do that when she comes to Okoboji next summer. She was fabulous about it. She's been going to Okoboji every year since....gees maybe forever!
