Let me tell you a little about my family..
My Dad..Daniel
Not yet pictured but this is a story about my father..Orphaned at a very young age he was forced to go away to school in Pennsylvania.  Much to his surprise that it would change his life forever.  My father was sent to an all boys school in Hershey, PA. when he was 12 years old.  Put on a farm with a mother and a father and 11 other boys he began his new life.  Waking up early to do his chores and then heading off to a full day of school.  Graduating in the Class of 1952 my dad goes back every year to his homecoming in October to celebrate the years past.  This year is extra special...it is his 50th year class reunion.  Remember my dad and all of the other children you help everytime you purchase a Hershey candybar, for much of the proceeds go to help the children that now attend the Milton Hershey School...

Dad...loungin'
Gimme a Kiss!

Hey...now let me brag about my mom..
My mom..Bonnie
Born and raised the 3rd daughter of a preacher.  She was raised in a very musical family.  Playing many instruments by ear one of which is the piano, she would take her accordian and my grandfather would take his guitar and they would go to the local nursing homes and sing for the residents.  To this day she still enjoys going and singing for these people many of which have watched her grow up...My mom even played piano in a gospel quartet *which I sang in* and played a huge grand piano at the Queen City Recording Studio in Cincinatti, Ohio where we made our first album called  "The Lighthouse".  Mom also enjoys camping and spending time with the grandchildren...she says the best thing about having grandchildren is knowing that they are going home...(haha)

This is some of my family.....in the red...mom..next to her is my sister Connie and sitting on the floor is my brother Danny..
