    J. Michael (Raeb) Shiverick Born in New York, I was fortunate to have moved out west to Idaho at an early age. Growing up on a farm overlooking the Capital city of Boise Idaho; with a railroad running behind our house, a beautiful cabin on Lake Payette; and hearing the many stories handed down about family, friends and acquaintances. Formed my inclination to write and illustrate a series of children’s story books. I’m very pleased to share with you, the Gunnysack Saga; based on past and present events, adventures, and fond memories in my life.

      JACK R. SIMPLOT

      An honorable man I met on but a few occasions while delivering for Symms York Printing; who told me, if you have a wish and a dream in your heart, the gumption to go after it, you too can find your gold mine, even if it turns out to be something else.

      And to my wonderfully talented granddaughter with much love,
