My sister and I received the love and nurturing from our parents growing up in a rambler in Cottage Grove, Mn and the fun of having a family pet (Butch).

We took many trips out west using the recreational vehicle that my dad made from a stripped down step van.  My sister and I now comment to each other, what a privilege it was for us to be able to travel like this while we were growing up. Thank you dad. 

This is a photo taken at a Thanksgiving celebration a few years ago with Grandpa Joe.

My dad was never in neutral. He built a garage, a boat and converted a Step Van into a motor home to name a few of the bigger challenges.
