My husband and I moved to Bailey, North Carolina 8 years ago. We met at the 1000 Islands in 1966 and will be celebrating 40 years together this November. We have owned our tree business for thirty-eight years. We started going on hurricanes eleven years ago and it has taken us many interesting places.

We have four children. Our oldest, Heather, lives in NC with her husband and our two granddaughters, Hannah and Katie. Our son Scott lives in Anchorage, AK and has one of the largest tree companies in Anchorage. He has two children, Emily and Jonah. Tanielle, one of our twins, is with Covenant Players, a drama missions organization. She is currently in South Africa for two years. Our other twin, Tiffannie, is an RN and is living in NC also.

I thank God everyday for a great husband and great kids and for health and happiness and salvation!
