Mennonite with ancestors traced through the Dakotas, Russia, Germany, and the Netherlands. I have a family history book that traces my lineage to the 1400's in Holland. Apparently there is a town there named after our family.

Also found out that my Great Grandfather's brother patented a version of four wheel drive in Canada and the US that was ripped off as the basis for modern front wheel drive. He got nothing for it as they got around his patent.

"To be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. To be satisfied with your possessions but not content with yourself until you have made the best of them."
-Henry Van Dyke
