My family

	A recent picture of me. Taken June 2000
This is Me (in the blue shirt), my cousin Amy, and her daughter Frances. This picture was taken by my Aunt Judy ('s mother) at her beach house in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Amy lives in Council Bluffs, Iowa where she teaches English as a second language. We took this picture back in May 1999, during a relaxing weekend at the beach. Frances was sooo cute, but every time I picked her up she started screaming! Needless to say..she needs her mommy near her at all times (and I have a ways to go before I can get married and raise kids). How did my parents ever put up with me?
	Here I am with my brother Jack (i'm the one wearing the shirt) during a rafting trip in Oregon. Jack is 2 years younger than me, and has virtually opposite interests than what I have. He's a snowboarder, and teaches the sport during the winter months. When he's not "shredding" the snow, he's teaching French and soccer to grade school kids in Vermont. Mom took this picture, about an hour south of The Delles, on the Deschutes River.
Vermont is also where my parents live, and it's where this next picture was taken. Here, the camera focuses in on Cousin John, Allison his wife, their daughter Anne, and Jack. John and I have a special relationship; he's also my godfather. John and Allison live in Brooklyn, NY. John's a lawyer, and works for a firm in "The City", aka New York. Keep reading thru the site: you'll also see why John and I have done some memorable things together.
