The newest addition to our family Abigail Grace Dies.
Mike is
64 years old and the father of five grown children (what a coincidence just like
Sara, except for her age of course). He graduated from Middle Tennessee State
University in 1968. He is retired from Tennessee state government and has had
Multiple Sclerosis for 30 years. His main interests are the internet, classic
Ford cars, and or course Sara and their 5 children, Duane ( who was killed in
1991 by a drunk driver), Dean, Danny, Derek and our daughter Dixie.
He and Sara also are big fans of the Nashville Predators NHL Hockey
Team and attend games as often as they can.

Sara is
the mother of five grown children and was a carnivore keeper at The Nashville Zoo from 1991 to
2000. Her main interest at the zoo was the big cats, some of which weigh
over 600 lbs. She is now called upon from time to time to raise baby cats for the Nashville zoo. This is done when the mother rejects them or they are
"pulled" in order to make them a better exhibit animal (safer to work
with and more at ease around people) or the animal is to be used in an
educational program. Her favorite cats are clouded leopards and snow leopards.
See Sara on Animal Planet's "Growing Up Clouded
Leopard".
