News and Updates from the website of Daniel McCree , Artist & Writer of Belleville, IL.(1979-2007)
The Foundation exhibits an extensive collection of his original artwork, writing, photos, and videos.
The Foundation was established following his death by suicide, in July 2007.
A friend shared this a few weeks ago, and it definately grabbed me as a "same lane" song. It is not really well known, or easily found but worth a spin!
Did you know that families pay just $50 for their child to attend camp, regardless of the length of the session? Siblings cost only $25. However, the actual cost of camp is nearly $150 per camper, PER DAY. The difference is covered by your generous contributions. We thank you for making camp possible for hundreds of St. Louis children each summer!
The Daniel McCree Foundation supports this important organzation as both Alumni and Volunteer efforts. You too can support them, and the opportunities they make possible for our youth in need.
A Short Reflection on this months issue: I guess in a sense, the monthly go-round of putting the monthly publication together is my version of throwing around some color. The inside joke has been that no matter how many times I "proof" an issue, there is always one glaring typo. And it has almost become a sense of questioning where it will be, and how it will make it's presence known. Those of you further down on the vine remember that Daniel often put typo's in his writing to prove a point. Perhaps the point is that perfection is something unattainable, or an even more benign method of simply saying "I'm still here". Either way this month's blunder would be none other than that I misspelled my own name... how about that :) I think the best and only thing to do is just call it out and allow it to be whatever it is. Peace & Shalom, Colby

We set today aside to celebrate the 27 years of Daniel McCree's life, and remember the contributions of his life and spirit over the past 3 years. To put it in Daniel's own words:
"A silent stare is what the outside world must view while I'm walking through this. My
life's work has been to record my story in my own way using whatever
avenues communication or _expression will serve the purpose. "
