NEW MEMBERS The Vincent family loves spending time with their many family and friends that are also members, including John’s Grandfather, Harold Vincent; Father, Douglas Vincent; and brother, Scott Vincent, along with many more extended family and lifelong friends. Graskewicz Family Hello CCR. Let me introduce you to my family starting off with my wife Heather. She is currently in the 1 st year program of Pharmacy at Wayne State University. Heather also works part time at Henry Ford Hospital as a pharmacy tech. If and when she has spare time a good Stephen King book and a glass of red wine always hits the spot. Heather once a month also volunteers at our church for the soup kitchen. Next is my son Easton. He is a 5 th grade student at Trin- ity Lutheran School and is also a part of their basketball team. When he is not hooping it up he enjoys video games and you tubing. He has also discovered a love for hunt- ing and fishing. Last season he took his first deer during bow season and needless to say he is ready for more. Then there is Lucky! She is a pure-bred black Labrador retriever and been a part of our family for almost 6 years. In her spare time, she enjoys sleeping, eating, pooping, peeing, sleeping, eating, pooping, peeing, you get the idea. Actually, she is a huge part of our family and only has love coming out of her. And of course, myself Tom. I currently am a car sales- man at Serra Automotive in Romeo. I am an outdoor enthusiast but specifically enjoy hunting and fishing. As a family we enjoy camping quite a bit but the last few years our old campground has turned into a huge drunkfest! A buddy of mine at my old job (Jimmy Oehmke) recommended CCR. I looked on the website was blown away by all the activities and area for my family and I to explore. We are primarily hunters but would like to spread our minds more and have an explosive outdoor experience. Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and we are very excited about our CCR memories! New Members, Monte & Kelly Johnson.
