Robert Sund, June 1982

Took the family out to visit Jimmy and Joanne Zabik
on the Skagit River today. Doing research on the tribute
to Clyde Sanborn book. Jimmy loaned me a bunch of
great photos, including this one of Robert Sund from
June 1982. Sund lived close by Clyde, both of them
amazing artists. 

Clyde Sanborn book

Good day to all. Sorry I've been remiss on updates. 

This summer I've been very busy working on several 

Good Deed Rain publications. (Paul Piper's poetry book, 

a big collection of my detective stories) and also working 

on a tribute book for poet/artist Clyde Sanborn. 

He lived along Skagit River and his story is quite amazing. 

I've been interviewing and collecting stories and treasures 

from his friends. This book is just as exciting as publishing 

Robert Sund's tribute "A Flutter of Birds Passing Through 

Heaven." This is one of Clyde's paintings:

Li Po

I'm working on a big new project.
Doing research, reading poet Li Po.
So far I've been working with these books:
"The Selected Poems of Li Po" by Hinton
& "Bright Moon, White Clouds" by Seaton.
Two classics, lots of inspiration.
