Where we are. What we do. What we did. Who is in our life. What we make.
What are our hobbies. What are our passions.

Memories Brought ForwardMy dad was a World War II Pacific Marine - Saipan, Okinawa, China. He rarely spoke of his experiences and then only in abbreviated sentences. He did however love the out-of-doors and would jump in the 1953 red Chevy pickup with the home-built camper on the back and haul my brother, my cousin, me and sometimes my mother all over California. To the great parks like Yosemite and Sequoia, ghost towns like Bodie and a hundred nondescript campgrounds. I got to fulfill a lifetime goal recently when I purchased a 1953 red Chevy pickup. Dad would love it. His never looked so shiny but he would feel right at home. Of course he would want to take it on some back country road to break it in.
