Welcome!

Hello readers - thanks for viewing my blog. Especially welcome are my beautiful wife Cyndi, our two wonderful children Tom and Lisa, and my siblings Jeff, Mary and Suzy. I posted often from America Samoa while I was there a few years ago. I also post from our past and later travels. Keep checking in, and please leave a comment!

They may not be readers, but our dogs Monte and Zoey have a special page with their own photos. They are involved in many of our trips, and all of our lives.

Click on photos and videos to enlarge and (usually) see them better.

Updates


   To my faithful followers, postings from American Samoa have been coming fast and furious to the end, but the end has arrived.  We completed our six month stay and have returned home to Minnesota.  Here are some highlights of recent postings; all postings are listed by month on the right side of this screen.  Keep checking - we plan to put up some followup posts about American Samoa in the next couple weeks.  These will include my final installment of American Samoa Courts; Samoan shells; Samoan flowers; and more.  So please browse around these posts, and the others too:
