I had a pretty idyllic childhood. The mother that had a balanced meal on the dinner table each night. Some religion. A little brother for me to initially hate and then finally love. A good dose of adventure.Some great things I learned from my father:
- To respect and protect the environment.
- To stop and smell the roses. This picture was taken at Butchart Gardens, Vancouver Island, BC, 1987.
- To let a moose have the right of way.
- To shoot a pistol, a .22 and a shotgun.
- To ride horses.
- To cross country ski.
- To be active with causes that matter to you.
- To take the road less traveled.
- To eat what you grow. I'm still working on that one. The green thumb must have gone to my brother.
- To drive a five speed.

Leslie: Let's plant tulips this year with thing 1 and thing 2! Jill
p.s. in pots, cheek by jowl so when they bloom they look like big bouquets - but last longer.
