He had no idea why the people below him were running here and there until his mother started to call his name. When he answered her she panicked and told him not to move, at which time she sent his older cousin up to safely bring him back down.As the father of six, and the grandfather of six more, he loves to share his stories and photographs with his family and friends. So he is always typing out something, or a story, that he feels will find some wide eyes along the way. More recently he has been living in Thailand where he enjoys the culture and traveling with his wife.
