Be a pioneer!

Julie Ann Cominotti

Picture yourself going ashore from the Niña, the Pinta, or the Santa Maria alongside Columbus. A white heron wings against the sky over you and flies into a deep green forest where no one you know has ever been before.

Or imagine yourself traveling west in a covered wagon, as my great-grandmother did. Many people now live happily in the desert. But the pioneers had to come first. It wasn't always easy being a pioneer. It took courage, but the rewards of freedom and a fresh start in life were great. People found new lives.
