We love to travel.

During June, 2003 my wife, Norma, and I took the best vacation yet that we have been on. We did a two-week photo safari to Africa with the Rose-Hulman Alumni Association. We visited several game parks in Kenya and Tanzania. I took 31 rolls of film during the two weeks. Needless to say, the animals were awesome! I have posted some of my pictures online; click this link to get to them.

Delicious Recipes!

I love to cook. My wife and I are members of the Rose-Hulman Gourmet Club. I have placed some of my recipes on line.
