Awesome Grandparents: Sisse and Bill
My grandparents, Sisse and Bill, in 1943. I don’t know any of the story behind this photo; it wasn’t discovered (tucked into an old album) until many years after they’d both passed.

Awesome Parents: Joel + Dana
My parents are amazingly wonderful in their ability to transcend fear and prejudice thru unconditional love. …especially growing up in very very small towns and still living there.

Awesome Parents: Chuck + Joan
Chuck and Joan’s song is “Still Crazy after all these years” by Paul Simon and it suits them perfectly. They are completely devoted to each other and have been fearless about having adventures and reinventing themselves. They have inspired my sisters and I to believe we can do anything we set our minds too.

Awesome Parent: Mike
Mike is the kind of guy who bounces off the walls, doesn’t let age or work slow him down one bit, tries to befriend everyone, and knows when to get down with his bad tribal self.
