Steve Prefontaine-Rocketman

Steve Prefontaine-RocketmanSteve Prefontaine-Rocketman (book)

Print: $14.95

Steve Prefontaine was better known to the world as simply “Pre”. He was more than an exceptional athlete; he was an exceptional person. Pre once said “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift.” This book is not about what Pre gained during his short and brilliant life, but what he refused to give up as celebrity status settled inevitably on his shoulders. This unique story of Pre is specifically written for young people. Rocketman is told through the eyes and voice of Owen Morgan. Owen is a literary conduit through which the entirely factual events and characters are presented. The stories Owen shares with the readers are the stories of the people who knew and loved Steve Prefontaine, and the people Pre loved. *Author royalties will go to a special fund established by Linda Prefontaine for physical education and arts programs at Blossom Gulch School in Coos Bay Oregon. Blossom Gulch was both Steve and Linda’s former elementary school. Rocketman CD is now available!!

Disc: $5.90

This very special CD contains a unique interpretation of the Elton John classic in honor of Pre as performed by ChildrenSong of New Jersey. ChildrenSong is a choral music education and performance program based in Haddonfield, New Jersey. The Concert Choir devoted much of the summer of 2007 to rehearsals and the recording of the specially arranged song. The young singers are proud that their efforts will go towards helping their peers in Oregon. The CD also contains the narration of the first chapter of the book; Steve Prefontaine Rocketman as read by Pre’s life long friend, Jim Seyler. The combination of children's voices joyfully raised in song and the heartfelt, honest rendition of the chapter by Mr. Seyler make this CD a must for every Pre fan. *All royalties for the CD and book will go to a fund for arts and physical education programs to benefit Pre’s former elementary school, Blossom Gulch in Coos Bay, Oregon.
