George Morrow, Ramona's husband creates beautiful walking sticks. He finds what the stick wants to do and goes along with it. Sometimes he can find many of the clan animals in one stick. Sometimes they need a little help and he brings them to life.
Ramona passed the tradition on to her children who also do art. Her oldest son Robert C. M. Radka is the grandson of the late Ben DeNunez who did the "Woody Woodpecker" Little Golden Books. He was gifted to have received his grandfather’s talent. Robert also does beadwork, quite the perfectionist. Robert always has his paper ready to create another work of art.
