Welcome to the Hall Family Website and Photoblog. This site is about a family of seven, ages six to 91 who live in Tallmadge, Ohio. Our household consists of David and Joan Hall, our three daughters, Svea, Brigitta and Annika and Joan's parents, Bill and Harriette Wilsterman (AKA: Papa and Nana). I (David) was born and raised in Alaska and studied art/photography at University of Alaska, Fire science in Hawaii and elementary education in Colorado. Joan has degrees in architecture, interior design and science from Kent State, Ohio. I met Joan on a beach in Hawaii on March 12, 1995; by the end of the day I told her that we would be married. Joan and I fell in love in Hawaii where we kayaked and hiked regularly. After a four month road trip from Arizona, to Alaska to Ohio, we settled in Colorado and were married. Joan put her architecture and interior design skills to use at a small architecture firm. I studied education in graduate school in Denver and got a job teaching first grade in Colorado Springs. Svea was born in 1999 while we lived in Woodland Park, Colorado. In 2001 we decided to move to Ohio so that we could be closer to Joan's parents. Brigitta was born six weeks early and only four days after we arrived in Joan's parent's home in Ohio. We enjoyed the company and mutual support of Joan's parents enough that we decided to permanently reside together. In 2002 I was hired to teach technology at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish School in Cuyahoga Falls. In 2005, Annika was born 11 weeks premature. Joan now teaches a two-year-old preschool class at Treehouse Preschool in Tallmadge. We all enjoy hiking, kayaking, photography, creating art and visiting Alaska. |

We support Ron Paul for President 2012. I think the founding fathers would be very disappointed in what has become of the American government and its leaders; we now have a corrupt empire that largely ignores its own constitution and tramples on individuals' liberties. The founding fathers would like Ron Paul, however. Congressman Paul consistently votes no on issues that are unconstitutional. If elected Ron Paul will end our wars, close our hundreds of military bases across the globe and end our unsustainable, financially irresponsible empire. Ron Paul has more support from US troops than all other presidential candidates combined! Dr. Paul is critical of government corruption and believes in protecting whistleblowers. As a congressman, Paul does not participate in the congressional pension, has never voted to raise congressional pay and as President he would draw a salary of just $39,336, which is the median salary of the American worker. Paul believes the War on Drugs is not working, is a waste of money, and violates citizen's personal freedoms. Congressman Paul has never voted for: raising taxes, an unbalanced budget, a federal restriction on gun ownership or an increase in the power of the executive branch. Paul is the only presidential candidate proposing a viable balanced budget. He voted against: the Patriot Act, the TARP bailouts, regulating the Internet and the Iraq war. Search YouTube for " Ron Paul predicts " to see how Paul has predicted many of our current major problems and crises years or decades before they happened. Please do not waste your vote on the status-quo; elect Ron Paul for US President in 2012. - David & Joan Hall |
