Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Al was raised as a Master Mason on January 30, 2006 at the Dayton Lodge #103 F&AM. It was a deeply moving and life changing experience, and I urge any man considering Freemasonry to give a look at the Indiana Freemason Online Page at http://www.indianafreemasons.com/ , or contact me for information if I can be of assistance.

Vicki and Al love to spend time with our pets. We have a special kitty, Tiny Tunes. She was born on September 5, 1994, and came to live with us on Halloween Eve, 1994. She answers to many names, but only when she wants to answer, or if you have something she wants to eat! She loves eating ice cream, ham and shrimp, sitting in the window watching birds, and also likes a good pillow and plenty of shut-eye!v
Our puppy buddy in the above photo is Abe, a wonderful little Bichon Frise puppy who came to live with us in May, 2001. He was born on March 24, 2001, and loves to chew and run, and loves to travel. He also loves both sets of Grandparents very much, and enjoys spending time with them when Mommy and Daddy's schedule allows him to do so. He goes with us often, and we love having him with us.
