To say that Andrew is a friend would be a bit of an understatement.  He is the love of my life, my dream come true.  He is intelligent and has a wonderful sense of humor, as well as a deep love for God

It will be exciting to see where our relationship leads us, both personally and geographically.

Mike is my best friend and my "oldest" friend, meaning that we have known each other the longest.  We met when we both worked at a summer camp in the Sierra, back in 1980.

Mike has always lived in Fresno, and he has always been there for me whenever I needed anything.

Teri is one of my favorite people.  She is such a good friend!  She shares much of her life, as well as her family, with me.

She has her own website at ClearWater Ranch.  If you visit her there, be sure to come back here again sometime.

Besides Mike, the Swallow's are the ones in this area that I have known the longest.  They have shared their lives, as well as their holidays, with me.  Joann calls me her "adopted son", even though we are nearly the same age.

Dan and Judy are two of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  They often invite me over for lunch or dinner, or help me out in some other way.  It is great being able to enjoy a home cooked meal, and she is really a good cook!

They used to live near Disneyland.  They only recently "retired" and moved up to Ahwahnee, a small local town.
