A previous post had a comment form someone…

Are you from Rochester, NY by some chance?

I sent him an email letting him know that i did grow up in the area… why?

His reply…

When I saw your picture on your website I thought you bore a striking resemblance to a man I worked with at the Xerox Corporation by the name of Doug McFarland.  Doug was very proud of Ryan and used to tell us stories of his growing fairly often.  Around 1974 at a group picnic I took a picture of his son (Ryan McFarland) that I thought you might enjoy seeing…..assuming of course that you are Doug’s son.  If you are not Doug’s son, I apologize for having bothered you.
