Belle seems ready to appear at any minute.......and she does!  Her latest appearance was at the 2007 Young Rhetorician's Conference in Monterey, California, June 22, 2007. There she talked about the power of performance in a writing classroom!  Never can tell about that woman! She ran with outlaws in the late nineteenth century, married 5 of them, including Sam Starr. Cole Younger and Jesse James spent time at her house, and she named her daughter Pearl Younger.

In the spirit of Chautauqua, invite Belle to come out.
