I come from a fairly decent size family, 3 brothers, 2 sisters one sister deceased. My father died in 1989 and Mother in 1996 not long before I took her on a wonderful trip to Las Vegas. I loved both my parents and the only way I can think of describing them is, remember the show "All In The Family" that was them almost to a tee!  Thank God we all turned out pretty well! All my brothers and sister are pretty swell in their own way and I love them all. I should add another brother which is my wonderful sister's husband (Ralph) very talented guy. Their site is called "Turtle & Raven's Place" click HERE to visit them. When I was a kid I was always trying to go over to their house. We would all scheme and make up things so I could go over there and then we would eat and play games all night. Great fun and memories. (Love you both very much).

   I think a very good thing my parents taught me (fighting, pulling, and screaming) was about GOD. We had to go to Church every Sunday no matter what! I will always appreciate them for that because some of the things you see and hear about these days are really awful i.e. can't have a nativity scene for Christmas or if you talk about GOD in school you are approving Christianity. The Earth is not hanging from the north pole and spinning around in space on an energizer battery. It is not an accident we can live on this planet. There is a GOD!
