Personal Statement:

In my youth, I hiked above the clouds on windswept mountains and crossed the depths of the Grand Canyon.  I have walked the jungles of Thailand and Burma and worked on the Arctic circle.  I have designed huge pits to mine gold and I have designed and made petite, dainty rings of gold.  I have grown many beautiful roses, but also I have been pricked many times in my life.  In retrospect, my life has been difficult, mostly of my own making, but I am sure I would not trade it for someone else's life.  My life is not complete, but if an angel comes for me tonight - I have no regrets accept that I would not be here to see my children's children grow up.  Dan

What I do for Enjoyment:

Spending time with my family, being a jeweler, visiting with people, growing and hybridizing roses, gardening, writing poems, poetry and stories, raising puppies, fishing and creating this garden and website.
