World Traveler
While not as well-traveled as my grandfather, Harold C. French, I have had
opportunities to see much of the world. I spent two years in Italy as a
missionary. I traveled to east Asia often on business. My wife and I flew
to Europe to pick up our son from his mission in Russia, and we took
advantage of the excellent railroads to see much of Europe, Russia and
Belarus. Personal, family and business travels have taken me to most of
the United States and Canada.
I'm not done traveling yet. There are still
some places I want to go and
