Growing up in Coos Bay, Oregon, Jim Theiring & Joe Shank's lives had been closely interwoven for more than 60 years. Both went their separate ways, but when Jim & Linda Theiring put their life savings down on a San Jose walnut grove, they called on Joe to help complete the dream of a swim school...
