It was one cold winter night in the year of 1985 when-with my daughters, Julie Ann Marie and Melanie Joy, sitting on either side of me in our family room-I started to verbalize the magical story of Uncle Wrigley and the Snow Bush. I reached out to my younger brother, Timothy, a design draftsman by trade with unique illustration abilities, to put the story to color and bring it to life. I eventually put the story to print and in 1987 had it copyrighted.
