As a cancer survivor myself, this touches me as close as it possibly could. Not only am I a survivor, I have lost many family members and friends to this horrible disease.

10 Years ago, I finished my treatment for Hodgkin's Disease. Today I stand clean and clear. I am thankful to be here today. Unfortunately, not all are as fortunate as I have been. There is still so much to be done in research and development.

Some of you can do a little, some of you can do a lot. If each of us did something, the results would be off the charts! Please consider skipping a few drinks at Starbucks, a few lunches out, a round of golf or whatever thing you can think of to help raise funds! I promise you will feel better for it! I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart with whatever amount you can give!

Go here to help!

Pressing on together toward a cure!

A little over a month ago I started a photo blog around town.  I use my Treo 700wx to take the pictures and then remotely send them to my blog for all to see.  I don't modify them at all.  They are raw and as I see them.  Some are silly, some are fun, some are just because I felt like it.

This last Sunday our local newspaper The Columbian did a great story about flipping homes. It gives a great perspective of this phenomenon with a true picture. Check out the story here.

I am especially proud of the story since it is about a dear friend of mine who also happens to be a great business partner. You might even recognize one of the mugs in each of the photo's.

Take care,

We just received a call from my brother Darin that his father in law passed away tonight.  We were blessed enough to meet Duane this past September at the wedding in Erie, PA.  Duane was an incredible man with an unbelievable heart.  Unfortunately that gracious, giving heart did not have such a worldly strength.

Duane was filled with an incredible love for the arts and possessed a wonderful musical talent.  I am thankful I had the opportunity to see him sing at Darin and Tiffany's wedding.  What a wonderful memory.

Our love and sympathy goes out to Debby, Tiffany, Darin, Eric and the entire Kraus family!

We love you!
Dale, Bridget, Andrew and Jillian
