Jamels' Deep Sea Adventure

Below is "Jamel's Deep Sea Adventure", a book I co-authored with Jamel K. Thomas Joyce, when he was 8-years-old. It discusses our family's faith in God, our African / Gullah roots and the conservation methods I was taught as a child. 

We finished out his visit to see me in Atlanta with a trip to the GA Aquarium where we were amazed as he talked to fish and animals. Other guest took photos as the animals and sea creatures came to the windows to communicate with Jamel! 

Congratulations to Jamel!
 He is now going to the Middle School as a 7th grader!

John Rhodes & Jordyn stopped by SC Wild's Heritage Center last week to answer our questions on one of the petrified rocks in the SC Wild's Science Center. 
 








Jordyn told me it was a tree then a rock. A petrified tree sample. I thought it was always a rock. John came and confirmed that jordyn was correct! John played his guitar for us and could really play the "Blues"!
