On April 15th, 1999, Actor George Randall
(Indian In The Cupboard), actor/screenwriter, Val Gameiro and myself left
to go to Tuba City, AZ, the reservation town on the Navajo Rez. Stars In
The Desert is sponsored each year by Vanessa Brown, a Tuba City resident,
and this activity helps to fund different activities for the children.
This particular year we needed to help raise funds for a new community
center for the children.

On the reservation, we were invited to
talk to the children, to visit some children in a correctional facility
and to visit and come to know and love those residents who sponsored us.

We played football, went rodeoing, danced,
pow-wowed and walked in a parade for the children.
It was a wonderful time filled with laughter
and memories that will last me for a long, long time.
