Debbie Behne , writer for Green Magazine and Toy Farmer and Don and Debbie Campbell’s Special Friend.

Remembering back to Dyersville and Field of Dreams- Todays picture shows our friend Debbie Behne and her daughter Amy, son Jeremy and grandson Alex standing outside Dyersville, Iowa at the Field of Dreams baseball field. We traveled to Dyersville the first time on our 25th Wedding Anniversay . Deb said she wanted to go West towards Hawaii and we only made it to Iowa ? to the National Farm Toy Show. I think Deb was glad we went there ?, she never really voiced her opinion , I just assume she was as excited as I was , ha,ha.
We had no toys to sell , but Debbie Behne came up to us and introduced herself and asked us if she could do a story about us for Toy Farmer Magazine. We said sure and that interview began a decade long friendship . Even today she E-mails my Deb about every week. Little did she know or did we know that would be the beginning of me being in Toy Farmer and Toy Trucker Magazines with my hand built toys in over 40 issues. That is still mind boggling to think about , and very cool !! These days with the internet and my own webpage with close to one and a half million visitors from 160 countries around the world it is rare I send anymore articles . But it sure was awesome !!
Also another thing we saw right away was that Debbie had a special bond with her family and that impressed us most of all !
Thanks again Debbie for being a great writer and a great friend !!

TREADMILL RUNNING – Today we are getting a little more used to the treadmill as it is a lot different than running outside. It is so easy to quit and just sit and watch TV , but we are not going to do that.
