Originally from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Our family moved out east in 1970. Choosing Baltimore as our home, we have lived here most of our lives. In this picture we are sitting on my Brother's "STOOP" in New York City during 1996 Thanksgiving.

Ft. Wayne, Indiana Natives, Jim and Geri forged a love out of strong faith, commitment, and values. Their love for each other has lasted almost 33 years, a length of togetherness that seems non-existent in the world today.

As parents, they were careful to be subtle guiding forces, not totalitarian dictators, that allowed their children to choose their own paths. Although the diversity of their offspring does prove nerve-wracking at times, they try to be supportive.

As professionals, Jim is the General Manager of a hotel in Baltimore and Geri is a very seasoned Montessori Teacher.

THE SIBLINGS

Here are all three of us. Carl, David (ME), and Monica. As kids, we each had our own set of friends and went to separate high schools. I think that is why we never fought or had the typical "Sibling Rivalry" that other families experience. As adults, we realize how being raised in a strong family has brought us closer.
