The Choo-choo Clock and the Donkey

About 40 years ago I wrote this story with the help of ideas from my young adopted son, Scott, who was sadly taken from us a few years ago because of a long-term, off and on drug addiction. Scott was one of the most loving people I have ever known. Thinking about it has been almost unbearable. During much of his youth I was away from home a lot of the time due to my work. I have partially blamed myself for his problems. I cannot bring back the past, but through my involvement with Kiwanis I have tried to make life better for the youth in my community, and through the work of various funds, Kiwanis International has had a great influence on the lives of countless young people, from infancy through university. They sponsor clubs in schools like Builders Club, Key Club and Circle K. In communities around the world they have helped to eliminate disease and hunger. The Kiwanis Children's Fund donates funds responsibly to help children around the world. A portion of all sales of this book will go to this marvelous fund.
