If history is biography, then this story, the life of Helen Holt, will clarify some historical issues. Issues like integrity in politics, the merits of education, aid for the elderly, and so much more absorbed Helen's time. As Vice Pres. Joe Biden said, "[Her] life represents a part of the American story." Born in 1913, Helen continues at age 101 to inspire all who know her. | |  | | Historic Tales of La Jolla
The stories of the people who came to La Jolla, why they came, and what they did for La Jolla and what La Jolla did for them.
The first settlers arrived in La Jolla in 1869. Since then, La Jolla has attracted artists, architects, writers, scientists, and actors. All of their stories shaped the history of this seaside village. Pirates and smugglers hid in Sunny Jim's Cave. Ellen Browning Scripps, the Godmother of La Jolla, founded institutions and recreation areas not only for La Jollans, but for the rest of the world. Theodor Seuss Geisel derived inspiration for his art from La Jolla's landscape and its people. 'Historic Tales of La Jolla' is a collection of stories about the people who molded the village of | |  | | Horse Tales, Teddy and Just'n Come to an Understanding
The story is both fact and fiction. Fiction because we are not sure of the past our two horses experienced before coming to us. The facts: these two thoroughbreds, Teddy and Just’n, live with the author and her husband and the tales they tell are true experiences, perhaps not all theirs, but incidences which have been observed and experienced by the author.
"Kudos to Patricia Daly-Lipe for bringing this book and its story to a young
audience. There is no better place to plant the seeds of how wonderful
horses can really be when treated with love and concern, and cared for in a
manner that nourishes their genetics. Well done." Joe Camp, author of 'The
Soul of a Horse' and the movie 'Benji' | |  | | La Jolla, A Celebration of Its Past
A collection of vignettes and essays about historic La Jolla with emphasis on extraordinary people who helped built and shape this special place.
La Jolla, A Celebration of Its Past is a rich and varied collection of vignettes and essays about historic La Jolla. Since this author believes that "history is someone else’s point of view", the emphasis is on the extraordinary people who helped build and shape this special place.
La Jolla is more than a town, more than just a pretty seaside place in the sun. There is a spirit about this place. The essence of La Jolla comes not only from the sea, the surf, the sun, the cliffs, and the caves, but also from its unique and bountiful history which includes very special citizens.

Taking a wilderness and turning it into a site of Paradise, this is the story of an area, an era, and a vision of Miami and its forgotten founder, Locke Tiffin Highleyman.
Miami's Yester'Years begins looking at Florida's past as a state. Then, turning the focus to southern Florida and the development of Miami, this is the story of Locke Tiffin Highleyman's view of its potential. In 1911, he moved his family to settle and help develop the area creating the first dredged islands in Biscayne Bay. To do this, Locke Highleyman first sucked up enough mud to fill Point View. In the beginning, he was considered crazy. But Point View turned a profit. He then began pumping up bay bottom to build Palm Island and Hisbiscus Island. By the early '20s, the new Biscayn | |  | | Myth, Magic and Metaphor, A Journey into the Heart of Creativity
Myth, Magic & Metaphor attempts to awaken the aesthetic sense and inspire the reader to be a writer, artist, or musician.
Myth, Magic & Metaphor, A Journey into the Heart of Creativity attempts to awaken the aesthetic sense, the creative muse who lurks within us all. Today, in a cognitive/technical society, people have become more and more removed from the instinctive aspect of the psyche. My task as author is to enhance the creative spirit through myth and metaphor, to restore the sense of wonder adults experienced as children. My method is multi-sensory, interdisciplinary, and holistic. There are no limitations to what thoughts, ideas, observations, or research could and might be used to stimulate the | |  | | Nature's Wisdom
