The father is Jim LeDoux and the daughter is Katy Kassian. Jim is visiting here and Katy lives here in Washburn ND and works at the Lewis & Clark Cafe. We met Katy last week and liked her positive, friendly spirit. Last Friday, when she learned that was have been to Sacramento where she is from, she introduced us to her father who happened to be there for lunch.
We invited Jim to visit Cross Ranch SP and, sure enough, he came out this morning and I gave him the VIP tour in our electric car. Jim, age 71, is a very congenial and pleasant sort of fellow. We both have been in Scouting for 30+ years. For 38 years, Jim owned and operated an automobile store near Davis CA. He was born in Proctor, near Duluth MN. He spent time in Alaska and both father and daughter are cancer survivors. I thought that was mighty impressive.
We swapped stories for a couple of hours as we toured the park. We hit it off and we hope our trails cross again.
