Together, Donn and his wife, Diane Werling, have authored seven books on a variety of subjects. Thus, in-classroom follow-up workshops could include encouraging students and or adults to exercise their first amendment rights to put forth and stand up for what they value and or how to help others deal with the challenges of life. From Donn’s biographies on Henry Ford and Jens Jensen (the savior of the dunes) to Diane’s youth-oriented book on forgiveness and recovery from abuse, “Suitcases and Seeds”, the importance of sound research and inspiration can be used to inspire your audiences in a more intimate post-performance setting.
