Enjoyed a life of adventure, canoeing, exploring wilderness, mining, farming and land development.
After the death of my parents, I found a novel manuscript that was written by my grandfather. When I read it, I found that there was experiences and information about how he lived and saw life that needed to be shared with his 1000+ descendants. I edited and published his novel ‘Life’s Tangled Trail.’
