Based on a real story of travels by our owners, Donna and Alan Cohen.  Back in the 1970's, the Hippy Era was full of Woodstock, the Rainbow Gathering and the March on the U.S. Capital.  With this back drop of events, Alan became involved with the birth of Women's Sports, now in the Public eye.  Title IX became a monumental achievement, in which Congress made it official legislation that Women had equal rights to money in sports.  This meant more opportunity, more sports and real recognition for Women athletes.

Alan, who was working at the Prince Georges (county) newspaper grasped the importance and passion of Women's Sports, and started a grassroots sports newspaper called Women's Sports News!  It was well written, full of High School, College and Pro Women's sports news.  Advertisers were a lot more reluctant.  Well received, Metro Women's Sports News, started on a shoestring, was way ahead of the commercial times. On one of it's six front covers was a full page picture of Ginger Rouse, Virginia High School basketball star, who received the first College scholarship to Virginia University.  Inside the paper was a story about the first Pro League, called Grandma Jane.  It would all come to pass, as we see today.

Alan's attention then moved into the Alternative arena with the acquaintance of a NASA scientist, Tony, who introduced Alan to a New Age Medicine man named Little Feather and Patch Adams, the famous Harvard doctor.  Little Feather was a spiritual warrior, who took Alan and Tony and friends to a field, conducted a sacred ceremony and named Alan, Happy Badger.  Patch introduced them to the Rainbow Gathering, yearly FREE gathering of people, many hippies, in the National Forest.  While Happy Badger waited patiently for a new Pro Women's Basketball League to form in 1979, he went with Tony to the Rainbow Gathering.  It was a vision he had not seen before. People everywhere working together to make the Gathering survive and promote Peace and Love.  For better or worse, Happy Badger was unable to get the bus home (No money) but his hitch hiking experience from Oregon, back to D.C. was the true beginning of his search for a purpose in life.

Later that Spring, he traveled to a Rainbow People hot spot, a convention in Toronto entitled Peace and Humanity, where he met Donna, a lovely lady from Vermont. Instant soul mates, they spent the week together and pledged to meet again.  They did by both hitch hiking to Arizona, for the next July Rainbow Gathering.  From there, they traveled, again by hitch hikking to Portland Oregon so Donna could say goodbye to a former boyfriend.  Along the way, they hopped trains and cared for a dog named Dreamer and her puppies. Now they have 5 children and a fair trade store and cafe. There's much more to tell.
