I am in the Seattle area. I've been in the Pacific NW since we graduated from HS with the exception of a 2-year period in the mid-80s when we lived near Sacramento, CA. There are four us in the family...Jens is 24 (on his own), Annika is 22 (kind of on her own), and Julio is 17 (we adopted Julio from Guatemala 8 years ago). I am sad to report that I lost my wonderful wife Suzanne to ovarian cancer earlier this year. We were married 26 years. We are adjusting to life without her.
