"My dad is the reason I love to travel so much. The Alspaughs had been situated in the same county in NC for hundreds of years. He got up and left, and he saw the world. He taught me that there is something beautiful about every culture and has always encouraged me to travel since I was very young. His openness and view on humanity are what have kept me from becoming a complete cynic."
"This is my great-grandfather Bill. This picture was taken around 1910 when he was 17 years old. My mom said he was known as a kind of a wanderlust, and he left his home in North Dakota to travel around Montana on his horse. There, he eventually became a horse wrangler (hence the outfit). He also drove the family out to the West Coast from the Midwest in the family's Ford Model T in the 1940s to "see what's out there," which I think is pretty cool. I'm glad that I've come from a guy with an adventurous attitude, great style, and fearless spirit."
"My dad has been the biggest influence on my cynically intellectual and silly self. From the intense philosophical discussions over the dinner table to the 10-hour horror film marathon that he forced me to watch at the wee age of 11 — to help me get over my myriad of phobias, he said — my father has been my rock, my biggest influence, and fervent supporter. He has no shame. He is man enough to cry over a David Bowie jam and to be a self-proclaimed feminist. I adore the man, and hope to continue to make him proud."
"My dad is a family man above all else. He regularly bakes bread and brews delicious homemade juice using elderberries picked from a tree in his yard in South Seattle. He is also an accomplished musician who has been wailing on the drums since he was a child. Generous, kind, and quick to hug, Adam is a good man and a great dad."
"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."
