Richard Tanner tells the story:
"My Dad was a master pattern maker and could build almost anything out of wood. As a result, a lot of things were made of wood in our home, especially oak, because it was strong and plentiful. Today, my wife and I own an older home in Lakewood, Ohio where majestic old oak trees are everywhere. It takes 100 years for an oak tree to fully mature and like the oak, solid families often take two or more generations to reach full strength and maturity. Like an oak, families need strong roots to survive the storms that lie ahead. “
