Frank Herbert's Dune was the first science fiction novel I read, and remains one of my favorite sci-fi books. I actually got through the first few books of the Dune series and ended at Children of Dune, which I think was after Dune Messiah.

Anyway, I particularly love this photo because the 1984 version of Dune (the movie) remains by far one of my favorite films. I know David Lynch had a problem directing this Dune movie, and Dino De Laurentiis said producing Dune forever impacted his future decisions as a producer, but I think the music + story = awesome.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
