Creed to the Young and Old.
- Only when you give up can you ever be defeated.
- Keep faith and honesty with yourself and you'll always win.
- Open your heart to others as you would want from them.Driftin' AaronG

Many of those stories and adventures are told in the form of his favorite character, Claude Henry, the Iditarod Mouse. He has lived in and traveled to many places including Alaska.

Howdy Once Again Friends and Neighbors.
I trust everyone enjoyed that special Thanksgiving Day that we all look forward to each and every year. And let us not forget the special upcoming Christmas Day and all the festivities during this special time that reminds us of the birth of our Saviour, the baby Jesus. As a humble Mountain Mouse I think how lucky all humans are to have such an individual as Jesus to be a reminder why you’re all here.
My author, Driftin’ AaronG tells me that the baby Jesus was not born just for humans but for all life that is born. I remember asking if that meant a simple mouse such as I, and he smiled and said yes, and that there is a spirit world of goodness that is open to all of us somewhere. Driftin’ tells me that there is a place for all humans and the animal kingdom to enjoy life in the hereafter.
So let us all rejoice during this very special Christmas season and enjoy all the gifts of life that have been given to each of us, and just know that the giving is so much more rewarding as is the receiving.
This will be the last newsletter for a while. I have an adventure to go on that will not allow me the time to get a newsletter off to all of you, so please bear with me until I return. Sometime soon I’ll be back to fill you in on all the monthly information and adventures.
In the meantime my second adventure; “Claude Henry, the Iditarod Mouse and the Great South African Adventure” will be coming soon. If you have any questions to ask me, then please write me or Driftin’ at our e-mail address here at the website. We’d both love to hear from you.
Well friends and neighbors, it’s time for me to run off and prepare for Santa Clause and all his Reindeer. Someday I’ll have to tell you about when I really met the Jolly Old St. Nick one year when I visited the North Pole and helped Santa with Christmas. It really was a fun year for me and all my critter friends, so for now friends, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Your Friend,

November 2007
Howdy once again Friends and Neighbors.This month has been sort of quiet for me. I haven’t any new adventures to talk with you about, so I’m going to inform you of some of the things that my author, Driftin’ AaronG has been up to.
First, the book sales have done fairly well, nothing great yet, but then Driftin’ says that Rome wasn’t built in a day, so not to expect me to become famous overnight…He sure is a smart critter for a human Hahaha. (Gulp) I hope he has a sense of humor!
Anyway friends, the books are moving, and hopefully when the second one comes out it will light up the sky with awesome success just like the Northern Lights in Alaska.
Driftin’ tells me that he has been greatly inspired because of my adventures to help children wherever we can, be it here in the United States, South Africa, or anywhere in the world. He and I both believe that it is every adult’s duty and job to speak out and help to benefit the future of our children no matter what their race, color or creed, or what tiny corner of the world they might live in.
That is why I travel to every corner of the planet and maybe even far off into space if my author writes it into an adventure. My books are meant to be a road of excitement and fun that might lead to a better understanding for children to learn about their neighbors in all parts of the world, and maybe in time when we might all learn to get along as friends and neighbors on this great planet earth.
The novel, “Claude Henry, the Iditarod Mouse, And the Great South African Adventure” is on its way and you can read a little bit about it on the book page of this website. Be sure and pick up your first book of Claude Henry where the “Adventures Begin,” before you read the second one.
Well friends and neighbors, it’s time for me to run off and prepare for my next adventure, so take care and be safe.
Your friend and neighbor,

Howdy Once Again Friends and Neighbors:
It’s getting about that time to give you my monthly report. First let me say to all of you how much we here at Claude Henry.com appreciate the input you’ve been sending us about how we’re doing.
Driftin’ and I set off from Libby, MT on September 4, 2007 and traveled to Marshall, Minnesota where Driftin’ had a great visit with his grandchildren…I had a good time too, I might add. The two children and I all had a wonderful and exciting time. Driftin’ found himself busy talking with a lot of folks about his books and me. I kinda felt a little embarrassed but when fame comes your way just a little, what can I say. Driftin’ did sell quite a number of books talking about me though, so that is a good sign.
When it was time for Driftin’ to head out toward Kansas for a book signing, I was called away on one of my many adventures so I didn’t get to go and meet the folks there in Hays, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to go, ‘cause Driftin’ has informed me that he had a great time.
On September 15th Driftin’ had a book signing at a Hastings book store in Hays, Kansas. Actually Driftin’ has some ties with Hays, Kansas since he is some kind of descendent of “Texas Jack” who has his photo in the museum, along with “Buffalo Bill” and “Wild Bill Hickock.” Driftin’ always likes to visit Hays and his friends there.
The trip was somewhat successful and we made it back to Libby in record time. We missed the Bighorn Mountains since it was raining and the place where Driftin’ usually goes was all packed well with fresh mud so we didn’t make it. Driftin’ did write some poetry along the way that will be added at some future date.
Well Friends and Neighbors…That’s about all there is for now, so enjoy the newsletter and we’ll meet again on the flip-flop next month…Don’t forget to keep checking back to see all the new stuff coming your way on our website…See ya all in November!
Your friend and neighbor,
September 2007 - News Letter
Howdy Friends and Neighbors, welcome to my first newsletter that will keep you informed of my current affairs and adventures. My author, Driftin’ AaronG, tells me that we’re open for suggestions if you have any to make. Just let me know when you sign in on the guest book, and you can also let me know how I’m doing.My author, Driftin’ AaronG had his first book signing in Libby, MT on Saturday, September 1, 2007. He reported that he had a fair turnout for a Labor Day weekend and met a lot of very interesting readers. I’d hoped to be there but I was so busy on another adventure that it was just impossible for me to make it, but maybe another time.
On Tuesday, Driftin’ an’ I will be hittin’ the road on our first adventure since our very first one back in 1984. Driftin’ is taking me to meet his two grandchildren, Little Sophie and Little Sam, and we’re even planning to do a little fishing. Then we’ll be off to Hays, Kansas for a book signing at a Hastings Book Store scheduled for Saturday, September 15, 2007.
After that, Driftin’ an’ I will be heading out toward the Big Horn Mountains for a week or so of relaxation and fun, with Driftin’ trying to find some inspiration to write some poetry.
Well friends and neighbors…Time for me to be running along and help Little Sue with the chores…Seems like there is also something she wants me to do, but I love her and I’ll do whatever her little Ol’ heart desires.
So have a great month friends and I’ll be back and give you another update in October…Happy Days and Fun Adventures to all…
Your friend and neighbor,
