This book is a Christmas gift for my nephew, John Patrick Tuite, a Minnesotian, whose parents first meet in a book store, and we are quite happy that they did!



Photos credits to the author, Brian, Camille, and Clare Tuite , and Renny Mills.



No dogs were harmed during the shooting of any of the photographs, but a few cats got squeezed by Johnny.



Thanks to my sister Fran Tuite and Simon Meredith for their gracious hospitality to all the brothers/ sisters and their families at the River Run's Tuite cabin/home in Buchanan, Michigan. Ann and Phil of South Queensferry, Scotland were with us in spirit.



The book is dedicated to my father, John Francis Tuite, who rarely met a book he did not like.
