While they were ascending the mountain she asked him where he was from. He replied that he lived in the area, but his real home was by a lake in northern Wisconsin, a home which had been owned by his family for almost one hundred years. His cabin on the lake was his true home. He spent his summers there, grew up there, and always looked forward to returning to a place 1400 miles away. He told her that when in the cabin, he felt the presence of those in his family who had gone before. Tricia married Mark Hoffman, and now they are home.
