I extend a huge THANKS to my dad----who lives in Joliet, Illinois. Truman was a good dad,
but I have always called him Truman and he never gets a Happy Father's

I'm a dad and father of two young adults--
and --both of whom were born during the
early 1980s in Columbus, Ohio. I've enjoyed being a dad, but I'm not sure

parent is not easy and I was lucky that both Bree and Tyler have been
such good kids.
I became a grandpa during July of 2009. We have enjoyed having
and
in our lives.
