The story is fiction based on a true story. My dad did take Doug and I to the Auglaize, but the outcome was sad. Decided to use some creativity for a happier ending. Todd is fictional. I do remember my Dad claiming the rivers protected us from tornados. I always looked at growing up in Defiance as happy times - despite tornado and H-bomb drills. All the best Mark Gina, thanks for your words. The story is fiction based on a true story. My dad did take Doug and I to the Auglaize, but the outcome was sad.

What a great story! I wish my dad was alive so I could ask him if Todd had been a patient of his when he was a pediatrician in Defiance. I well remember the confluence of the Auglaize and Maumee rivers and how folks said that was the reason there were never any tornados in Defiance. Thanks for bringing bad memories.
