Yes, we've had more than twenty inquiries from screenwriters, film makers and producers.  We have signed a contract with Mark Clayman, the producer of PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS.  The screen play has been finished, and Samuel L. Jackson will be playing the role of Denver.  The movie is slated to be released in 2010.

He travels the country speaking and when in Dallas he paints and works with the homeless.  And in answer to many questions that have been asked...YES, Denver can now read.  Actually, he is a very good reader, but his spelling needs work.  Ron's "Aunt Vida" that typed the manuscript for our book taught him to read and his numbers in the summer of 2005.

Get involved locally both financially and as a volunteer when available.   We are not trying to take money out of local communities.  Support those who are called and trained to work with the homeless. For those of you who feel compelled to make donations to the Union Gospel Mission in Debbie and Denver’s honor the address is:

If God puts it on your heart to respond, then give them money and don't judge them for what they do with it...that's God's job and you will receive the blessing.

Lynn is a published author and reporter for WORLD MAGAZINE. She was hired by Thomas Nelson to help me edit and re-write our original manuscript.  I had written it 13 times by myself and didn't have the energy to do it one more time.

Yes, however my son Carson, runs that part of my life as the book now dominates my time.  We are always interested in buying and selling museum quality paintings and sculptures by American and European Masters of the 19th and 20th Century.  We are not a gallery and therefore, we do not represent any living artist or give advice to artists on how to market their work.

Yes.  Our new book - What difference do it make? is now available through Amazon.com and various bookstores.  It contains bits of Denver's wisdom and inspiring stories from our readers in connection with the first book.  Also, I am currently working on a manuscript that chronicles my adventures as an art dealer.    Back to SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME; the paperback version came out on March 13, 2008, and has photos and a Reader's Guide that were not included in the hardcover.  With the overwhelming sale of it, we made the New York Times' Best Sellers List for the first time in March, 2008, and to date our book has been on the list consecutively for 85 weeks.  We were number 10 for a few weeks and as of this posting we are number 15.

It is now in the Olympic Sculpture Park in downtown Seattle, a gift of former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley, and his wife Mary.

My son Carson and his wife Megan and my daughter Regan and her husband Matt all live in Dallas.  Regan and Matt have two daughters, Griffin, born December 28, 2005, and Sadie Jane born May 25, 2007.  Carson and Megan's first baby, a daughter named Kendall Deborah Hall, was born November 27, 2007.

"Aunt" Vida sold over 120 pieces of 'Denver's Art' from this website before it got to be more than she could handle with all of her other duties.  So something had to go...the bookkeeping and speaking schedules or D's art...Ron chose D's art.  Denver is currently represented by Caroline Crockett Kneese through The Cerulean Gallery.  His paintings can be seen and purchased online at www.theceruleangallery.com.
