Northway: The Later Years

Northway: The Later Years

After the years in the suburbs of Chicago and half the family had grown up, North and Jane sold the house that they had designed and built and moved to a farm in Wisconsin to follow his dream. The rest of the family grew up there and moved on. Eventually so did Jane and North to MN and AZ.
