I grew up in Rochester, Michigan. The city was named after Rochester, New York. Many early settlers were from New York and New England area. The Graham Family settled first in Rochester in 1817. This has become a quaint but growing city that is known for its beautiful rivers, parks, cider mills, and families dedicated to building community. I have traveled often to our family homes in Fort Myers Beach, FL, and Nashville, TN. Although my roots are in Rochester. Today I enjoy my time at Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI.
