Hi! I'm
Frank. |

Before
I go any farther, let me put in a personal paragraph about my wife Debbie. We've
been married 11 years this summer 2001. She is the love and light
of my life! There is no better woman in the world than Debbie! I will love you for eternity Deborah Kay, and this is my way of telling the world. |

We
moved to Gaylord, Michigan, from Midland Michigan in 1994. I found
the first morels of my life the following year 1995. Found them by
accident driving around in the woods. I stopped to answer natures
call to water the local plant life. While I was performing that
task I gazed around and spotted my first morel! (Luckily it wasn't
in the same direction of my activity.) I picked the morel and
enough other ones to fill my hat, and took them home. I checked
with several people about their identity to make sure they were
morels. After tasting them sautéed in butter, I've been hooked
ever since. My lovely wife Debbie, on the other hand is hooked on
hunting them, but won't eat morels, or ANY mushroom, wild or otherwise,
bless her heart.
I
started this site on a whim, just to see if I could learn about HTML and
such. I appreciate those of you who followed me in spite of
Java that wouldn't Jav, and all the other learning disabilities I am going
through. You are very patient. I've learned just enough to
make my life, and yours, complicated. Now I have a simple
(? ... yeah, Right!), morel web site that has grown into
a year-around project. I hunt morels one month of the year and the
other eleven months I play around and learn how to screw up this site.
It's true. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I
tried looking for info on the web after I discovered morels. At
that time (1995), I could find very little on the web about them.
So I kept searching and reading books. I now know so much less,
that I decided to share that-drop-in-the-bucket with you. Now I
want to make one thing perfectly clear. I am NOT an expert!
Not even a seasoned old timer. So don't go mailing me, expecting
all the answers, because I'm still learning. Just like you.
I like getting e-mail from all over, and I try to answer them all when
I'm able and will try to answer questions the best I can, but remember
who you are talking with. I started this site, like I said, to share
info. As I learn it, I will post it. If you can't find it
in this site, then I probably don't know either. A word
of caution to those of you making a web site of anything. Do not
swipe pictures or text off other peoples pages without obtaining permission.
Most will give it to you. But... When I started my first personal
web site, I thought that EVERYTHING was FREE for the taking on the net.
I was wrong! |

Morels .... I Love 'em!
(Almost as much as my wife hates them ;) |
