In the early 1990’s, Neal spent a lot of time on outdoor adventures with his close friends Eric and Libby McDonald at their house in rural Wisconsin. It was a beautiful, idyllic time that stunningly and sadly was broken by the kidnapping and murder of a 12-year old local girl, Cora Jones. The community was devastated by this awful event and Neal was particularly affected to think such horror could randomly come to this special place. He was moved to write Cora Jones as a tribute to her.
