I heard yesterday that Thunder Over the Prairie has made it to the next level of executives at the studio. Which makes it a little closer to actually getting made into a film. I spoke with actor Marty Kove and he was gracious enough to want to give it a read too. Frontier Teachers did okay for the first day out. All in all I was feeling happy about things that were going on. And that hasn’t happened in a long time. I was okay until the tracking feature on my site showed a couple of people, one from Missouri and another from North Carolina posting derogatory remarks about my brother and my family. As always, I don’t know why. I received a post to my site a few months ago from one of their family members who boasted that everyone was doing so well. During the initial investigation into my dear brother’s situation, we were told by the courts that his children did not want to see us and to stay away from them. At my brother’s sentencing hearing they told the court that they “were hurt that their father’s family didn’t want to have anything to do with them.” That was a lie. Just one of many. I spoke with a woman this morning who’s brother was sent to prison on a lie as well. It was nice to be able to talk with someone about the hurt you feel everyday over the matter?and in severe cases, over the loss. There is a sadness deep in your heart?a pain that aches always. It hurts especially so when people who claim to be moving on continue to do the ugly things they do. Think I’ll add that in the book The Deadliest Accusation too. It’s an example of the very little character they have and the pain they continue inflict on people who had nothing to do with what they say happened. Now, back to work.
