Vickie and me in New York this past December on our 5th anniversary. They got over three feet of snow that weekend.

Here's my son Zach at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History this Christmass.

This is me, my dog Canyon, Hallie, and Vickie out at Dawes Arboretum over Christmas break down at my Mom's house.

my two lovely daughters being a little goofy. Hallie on left, Erin on right.

Here are a couple of pictures of my office at the Ohio EPA. Note the great posters on the walls. Unfortunately I took my crayfish poster home (previously in the blank spot) to put up in my home office

Five cousins on a jungle jim.

Roger's nieces Gia and Maria, running for the park.

This here dog (Canyon) is kind of like me, once she gets a bone she just won't stop chewing on it.

From left to right, my son Zach and his girlfriend Erin, and my cousin Chris and his girlfriend Erica. We had a great time at Christmas.

Left to right: Roger, George, John. This is my brothers and I prepairing for a two week camping trip in the desert southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado; USA) during Sept. and Oct. of 2001. We called ourselves the "Tres Hunkies".

This is a western sunset. Elk Ridge Colorado. All the sunsets look like this in the desert southwest. We camped here of the road a ways and ate the best steak, ranch style beans, and potatoes I've ever had! The next day we had all the gas we needed.

My two brothers George (right, older than me) and John (left, younger than me) on the cliffs of Mully Point, Arizona.

Here's a radio antenna my brother George helped build in Pietown, New Mexico. He was the project supervisor.

Sunset in Chaco Canyon National Monument in New Mexico. This is a great place and that was a great sunset!

Here's one cool kid. This is Jacob. He's the son of Kelley and Tony, two great people that once worked for me as summer college interns catching fish. Kelley and Tony got married in my back yard in Granville, Ohio. As far as I concerned they're my kids and they think I'm a second dad.

Here's a bunch of my biologist buddies from the Ohio EPA. We had a luncheon for one of the boys that retired. When ever we have one of these get togethers we all bring wild game to eat such as deer, misc. fish, duck, goose, pheasant, grouse, and other good tasting things. We're kind of like PETA only different. "People Eating Tasty Animals"

More of the Ohio EPA biologist. You won't find a group of biologist like this anywhere else in the world. We call our work "production ecology". There's no time for goofing around, when summer hits we're in the field collecting data on streams and studying pollution impacts for five months, four days a week, 12-16 hours a day. We study the fish and macroinvertebrates of all the streams in Ohio including the Ohio River and shoreline areas of Lake Erie. Much great work has been done by this group!

Check out these doorways in Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mex. These are the structures built by American Indians thousands of years ago. We European types aren't sure what went on here. The Indians of the area know but they're not letting us white guys in on it.
