7. Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary: The Story of Ed and Joyce Koupal and the Initiative Process by Dwayne Hunn and Doris Ober. This husband-wife team “just ordinary people,” in their words, started out powerless and in over a decade, largely in the seventies, built Initiative power to qualify reforms on the California ballot for the popular vote. A story for the ages that strips away excuses steeped in a sense of powerlessness. This small but invigorating paperback can be obtained from The People’s Lobby.     Ralph Nader, 2009

Some background about… Every Town Needs a Castle, Especially if Made of Recycled Junk and Spunk

by Dwayne Hunn.

In late 2013, the Rubelian Castle behind this fun-loving story was placed on the National Monuments List, up there with Mount Rushmore and Hearst Castle… which makes Rubelia’s Head Janitor smell his creosoted hat and smile.

12-17-15 review:

EVERY TOWN NEEDS A CASTLE by Dwayne Hunn  is a charming compendium of personal memories.

One of the most insightful and witty books about youthful experiences I’ve read in a long time.

The book captures an important and transcendent segment of Mr. Hunn’s early years.
