She could have gone around me, but it had to be over me. I received several heavy punches from her large paws as she progressed the length of my body as if pursued by something from the very gates of hell. Which, I suppose, from her point of view, she was. As Doris grew from a cute puppy into a giant teddy bear and continued to steal hearts and slippers, Richard received a devastating life threatening diagnosis and their lives changed forever.

Autobiography of a Ziegfeld Follies star, an copartner of Arthur Murray Dance Studios, a quarter horse ranch owner in Oklahoma, and at age 88, the recipient of a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oklahoma.

The Ziegfeld Follies, Florenz Ziegfeld's stage spectaculars, promised the best performers, the most lavish sets, and the most ravishing girls. Doris Eaton Travis was one of these prized beauties–and, at 14, was chosen as the youngest chorus girl in the Follies. "Mine eyes are yet dim with the luminous beauty of a girl named Doris," one Chicago reviewer wrote. Doris Eaton Travis was the last living Ziegfeld girl. In her 106 years, she performed for presidents and princesses, entertained Gershwin, Lindbergh, and Astaire, starred in silent and talking pictures, bantered with Babe Ruth, offended Henry Ford, outlived six siblings, written a newspaper column, hosted a television show, earned a Phi Beta Kappa degree in history, raised turkeys, and raced horses. In 2010, she performed on Broadway, returned home to Detroit and two weeks later peacefully passed away. Century Girl is a visual tour of this extraordinary woman's journey through life.

On December 20, 2010, Congress enacted the most sweeping changes in the estate tax law in 29 years. People who have already begun (or though they had completed) their estate planning now need to review their estate plans in order to determine if their plans still help them. For people who have not begun the estate planning process, there is no better time to start. Estate Planning After The New Tax Law covers the basics and all of the complexities of estate planning. Using practical examples drawn from real life, the book examines the fundamentals of avoiding the probate of a decedents estate and reduction of estate taxes, starting with the basic tool, the living trust. The book avoids jargon and legalese, but does not skimp on the intricacies of estate planning law and practice.

This book is a continuation of stories in the life of “Miss Kansas City Kitty - Doris Markham’s Story.” As the book opens, Doris is married to her third husband, Martin Swinney, and has a ready-made family. We join the family in 1949, when they move back to Doris’s hometown of Jameson, Missouri, and her mother’s farm. Neither Marty nor his children have ever lived on a farm. Marty’s war injuries are still plaguing him, as he tries to support his family while going in and out of the hospital. Doris goes back to work in Kansas City during the turbulent 1960s and the race riots. In this book, you will see life in north Missouri during the 1950s and 1960s and Doris’s experiences raising teenagers during that time from both rural and urban perspectives. There will be highs and lows, good times and bad in Doris’s life as the years go by quickly. Doris lived to be 96 - almost 97 -years old, and this book will explore the last half of her life.

It all began when someone tried to push Creed into the flesh pool to be ingested. The assassination failed, but Creed was never the same again. Because it launched the new cliff-dwellers of Creed's colony onto a new course of life - which could lead to humanity's re-emergence as Earth's masters. In those far future days, Earth's masters were two trees. Not trees as we know them, but two Everest-high growths, whose sentient roots and fast-growing branches dominated every living thing on the world. Men lived between their arboreal combat.
