I am a man who has lived a full life with children that have multipled, extending my future through offspring of their own.
From the farmland of Iowa;boyhood days dreaming of places yet unseen,
growing wiser with time,serving my country during the Vietnam era; returning home to an unwelcome crowd,schooled by daily challenges which have stengthened my character,and love of life.
Finding a stronger Christian faith in God and His Son.
Traveling this country of mine finding those "places of dreams during my youth".I have only three more states to vist to make all 50.
What a beautiful,wonderfully magnificent country we have in these United States.I can see why Katherine Bates wrote "America the Beautiful" after she reached the top of Pikes Peak!
The Waterfalls of Yellowstone,Devils Tower,the Badlands,Grand Tetons,Glacier National Park's "Road to the Sun",Mount Rushmore,the Grand Canyon,Garden of the Gods,Sunflower fields in the Dakotas ,Windmills in Montana & Wyoming country,it goes on and on.
If the opportunity has not presented itself to those of you take time to get out of your environment and see the other side.
Like the man said long ago,
"You got to stop and smell the roses wherever you reside!"

Genealogy;family history,& Poetry have become a fantastic extension of me which has blessed me with a new appreciation of their values.
All these things are part of my makeup- thats Who iam
