He has been entranced by carousels since childhood -- but his love and interest were rekindled when his wife, Anne L. Watson, wrote a novel about a young carousel restorer.

He currently lives in Friday Harbor, Washington. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Filled with beautiful photography. . . .
