I Grew Up In The Very Small Town Of Gray Summit, Missouri, About 45 Minutes West Of St. Louis.

The Summer Before Our Daughter Was Born, My Wife And I Went On A Vacation To Oregon For Our “Babymoon”. In Addition To A Perfect Day O fDriving Down The Pacific Coast, And The Waterfalls Along The Columbia River, We Visited Crater Lake National Park.
