We know Chris from Colt State Park. We loved talking with him about his family, the weather, and starting in late April every year, his astonishment at how he was going to have yet another birthday. A few years ago, he gave us a deer he had carved and it sits on one of our bookcases. We will miss him. Nels and Janet Johnson
