Foreword

Welcome to the third installment of the “Singing Frogs Village” series, titled “Alfred and Morningstar,” authored by Norman Bliss. This series has been a journey of discovery, innovation, and the enduring spirit of two remarkable individuals.

In “Alfred and Morningstar,” we continue to follow the extraordinary lives of Alfred and Morningstar, who have made their home in the vibrant and ever-evolving community of San Gabriel. Over the years, they have become integral to the development and success of numerous groundbreaking projects, blending their unique talents and dedication to make significant contributions to both their local community and the broader scientific and cultural landscapes.

Alfred, a brilliant and visionary scientist, has spearheaded the development of revolutionary space technologies and sustainable engineering solutions. His collaboration with SpaceX and other space programs has led to advancements that were once the stuff of dreams—intercontinental passenger transport flights, reusable rockets, and the ambitious colonization of Mars. His work has not only pushed the boundaries of human achievement but has also garnered international acclaim, including a Nobel Peace Prize.

Morningstar, with her deep-rooted connection to her Apache heritage, has been a beacon of cultural preservation and education. Her teachings at the Gilbert Hernández Military Academy have inspired countless students from across the Americas, instilling in them the values of honor, respect, and a profound appreciation for Native American history and traditions. Her writings and classes have become essential resources for those seeking to understand and celebrate the rich tapestry of Apache culture.

Together, Alfred and Morningstar have formed an unbreakable bond, not only with each other but also with the community around them. Their lives intertwine with the rhythms of San Gabriel, a place where innovation meets tradition, and where every project is a testament to their shared vision of a better, more interconnected world.

In this installment, we delve deeper into their latest adventures and challenges. From Alfred’s secret meetings with SpaceX engineers to Morningstar’s profound revelations about her ancestry, we see how their personal and professional lives continue to evolve. Their journey takes us from the bustling space centers to serene Apache reservations, and even to the expansive cattle and horse ranches of Montana, where new alliances and friendships are forged.

“Singing Frogs Village: Alfred and Morningstar” is a story of resilience, ingenuity, and the enduring power of community. It is a celebration of two individuals who, through their unwavering commitment and passion, have left an indelible mark on the world around them.
