I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie and have also lived on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in the Lake Erie watershed, on the banks of the Arno River (Mediterranean Sea drainage basin), and in the Connecticut River watershed. recognize > reconsider > reduce > reuse > rinse > repeat my pronouns are they/them ~:> Chris
