Christie is Hannah's niece, daughter of her sister Mary.  Paul is Christie's husband of 28 years, and Deanna (17) is their daughter.  They drove down from Eugene, OR, by way of Crescent City, CA.  This trip was Paul and Deanna's birthday gift to Christie, and they did all the driving.  ("Yippee!" says Christie from the back seat.)  To learn more about Christie, see her homepage, Christie's Collage. Paul is a Prelude enthusiast, fixes computers and anything else he can get his hands on, and has a quirky sense of humor.  Deanna is a college student (pre-med), a social butterfly, and the apple of her parents' eyes.
