“Life has more imagination than we carry in our dreams.” – Christopher Columbus I LOVE that quote! And I love that it comes from a man who truly understood how much bigger life was than his own imagination. As the author of the book “Christopher Columbus”, Clark B.

Today I want to pay tribute to an amazing woman named Iris who happens to be my Aunt. Aunt Iris would have celebrated her 98th birthday this week, but sadly on Friday we got word that Iris had passed away.
