Gregory Hanson
I was born in southern California and spent my early years between Long Beach and Huntington Beach, the son of Mary and Melvin E. Hanson.

My father was a well-known inventor in the communications business, designing and distributing his Melehan Valiant telegraph key (pictured below) around the world. Early years spent training with him got me interested in technology.

Received formal education in Long Beach, graduating from Wilson High School in 1970. Music and sports occupied the majority of my free time, playing and traveling with both.
Began my secular career in law enforcement, then moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1973.  Spent eight years doing volunteer work in Brooklyn, New York, returning to California in 1981.


Cookie Hanson (Tour de Faux)

Got married to my beautiful wife, Cookie, in 1983.  In 1985, we started a window cleaning business in Orange County, CA.  Enjoyed success providing services there until we moved to Montana in 1996.  We were happy to call Missoula, Montana as our home for sixteen years, until we relocated to beautiful Asheville, NC in 2011.  Now - exploring Asheville with a camera and a tripod.  Life is good.

Window cleaning had been my main profession from 1985 until 2011, operating as Hanson Window Cleaning. My wife, Cookie Hanson, operated a decorative art business, Tour de Faux.

A spiritually healthy Bible-based outlook may well affect our body for the good. Thus, it is helpful when going through some anguish that we bear in mind Paul’s experience and encouraging words. (2 Cor. 4:9) Some trials can have a detrimental effect on our spiritual health. Here, too, Jehovah can come to our rescue. His Word assures us: “Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down.” (Ps. 145:14) For help to counteract spiritual illness, we should seek the assistance of Christian elders. (Jas. 5:14, 15) And constantly keeping in mind the Scriptural hope of everlasting life can help to sustain us duri...
