Lori and I moved to Tennessee in 1999. We moved from Oregon where I had lived for over 50 years. A poor economy , some very bad business decisions on my part had left us in a desperate situation. Loris Parents offered us Hospitality and the Opryland Hotel had a Job for me . I tell people that we are still adjusting to deep fried food and humidity , and while I dearly miss the Pacific Northwest , we have found some comfort here , great friends and an Amazing Church. This is Tennessee as I know it
