For the past 14 years, I have been a supporter of Ryman Arts. It all began back in 2007 when Kendra Reed, the then President of the National Fantasy Fan Club (NFFC), today known as the Disneyana Fan Club, asked me to co-chair a breakfast fundraiser in benefit of Ryman Arts. While I was well aware of Herb Ryman, had met him and heard him speak on one occasion, I was initially not aware of this organization that had been founded in his honor.
