Queen Creek, Ariz. — He's one of the greatest names in boxing, and this week he's a work of corn art.
Muhammad Ali and his wife heard about a farm in Arizona that had carved his photo into a corn field.
So, the couple flew out to the farm to check out the artwork and meet the creators.
Carrie Schnepf says they have carved Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey and others into their corn field as part of the annual Celebrity Corn Maze at Schnepf Farms. However, this was the first time a celebrity visited the farm.
Ali's wife, Lonnie, said her husband had been on magazine covers and in art work, but this corn field was a first.

I was cleaning today and found this old email which I sent out to a group of friends & family when I first got back from SA over six years ago... being away from SA for a year and a half now, it was a good feeling to re-remember when I first "fell in love".
