Sandoz, the Storyteller's Mark Mari Sandoz, a celebrated writer of the American West, gained widespread recognition with her 1935 publication of her novel "Old Jules." Her powerful storytelling and in-depth research brought the history and spirit of the West to life. Today, her work continues to inspire, as efforts to preserve her legacy ensure new generations can discover the enduring impact of her voice. Love, Laughter and Legos A fun-loving couple from Arnold has found the perfect pastime — building LEGO sets together. While some folks spend their free time golfing or fishing, Harvey Foran would rather dive into a pile of bricks and, with the help of his wife Barb, turn them into something amazing. The duo works side by side, sorting bricks and snapping sets together, piece by piece. (They’ve completed over 500 LEGO sets so far!) It’s a hobby that keeps their hands busy, their minds sharp, and their bond stronger than a well-clicked LEGO brick.
