County Senior Scribes... That
“Special Dog’s Story” now available to readers Proceeds to
benefit CNO and the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund
After
decades of having his story told to grandchildren and friends, Yogi Boy Cox has
achieved immortality through a new book... “Yogi Boy Cox and Friends,” by
Senior Scribe Marianne Cox Clark.
It’s sale
will benefit young people seeking scholarships through the Senor Scribes
Scholarship Fund. All proceeds will be turned over to County News Online to
perpetuate its goal of provide community news and information to the public and
using the profits for scholarships.
“You only
have ‘one’ good dog,” Clark said. “Yogi Boy was ours. You can have wonderful
dogs afterward, and they might come close, but they never quite measure up.”
She added
that she has told these stories for more than 30 years. Over time she began
witing them down, with some of them being published on the Senior Scribes page
of The Early Bird.
“I told
them to my grandchildren in the beginning,” she said. “After telling them over
and over, I got the idea of writing them down and giving them as a gift to the
grandchildren.”
As others
wanted to hear the stories, the idea for the book, ‘Yogi Boy Cox and Friends,’
was formed.
“These are
true stories,” Clark said. “I’d like to dedicate the book to the good Dr. Daly
at Ohio State University. Without his diligence in treating Yog, this story
would not have ended as it did.”
The book is available in local bookstores;
also through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Xlibris.com or by calling
1-888-796-4374 Ext. 7879.
