OUR FATHERS: DAVID ERNST LANGE

"My papa David Ernst Lange and I couldn't be any more different from each other, but he has always been my biggest supporter.  Even when I insisted on wearing a tutu, cowboy boots, and a suit jacket to the grocery store when I was little, he was right there — proud to be my father.  He has a firm handshake, a kind heart, and bakes a mean apple pie.  If there is one thing I hope to achieve in life, it's to be as good of a man as he is."
