    I am married to one of Jim Tribby's daughters, Ginger.

    Ginger's family spent many years in Ladoga

    Pat Cline, a local author and journalist was going to write a book about him but died before she could do so.

    We have her notes and tapes so one day I may write that book.

    We live 6 miles outside Crawfordsville.
