--------------
Anna Miriam Dunn Knutson was born on December 23, 1975 and died on November 17, 2013. She was the first child of Peter and LeAnna Dunn. Most of her childhood years were spent on the family farm in the Sonnenberg Valley between Kidron and Dalton, Ohio. She attended Kidron Elementary, Dalton Middle School, Central Christian High School, Rosedale Bible College, Goshen College, and Kent State University.
In 2002 Anna moved to Portland, Oregon, where she met another Portland transplant, Joe Knutson, from East Grand Forks, Minnesota. They were married on July 24, 2004, and relocated to Ohio the following year where Joe began employment at P. Graham Dunn and Anna pursued her education.
Anna lived a full life, before and after her cancer diagnosis in December of 2008. She did not let cancer prevent her from the loves of her life: playing and teaching violin (especially to her niece and nephew); teaching (Central Christian, Kent State, Ashland University); her church family (Sonnenberg Mennonite), friends, travel, reading and writing.
Anna's Chapel, on the P. Graham Dunn campus, is similar to the "Chapel of the Holy Dove" near Flagstaff, Arizona, where Anna and Joe visited when Anna was well enough to travel. Both of these rustic chapels were built as a place of peace and comfort, pointing to the "God of all comfort." Both chapels encourage visitors to express their thoughts and prayers on the wood surfaces. Our chapel was built to honor Anna, but it is really for everyone, for we have all lost loved ones.

Randy Fath grew up in the same community as the Dunn family, near Dalton, Ohio. For three years after college he lived in solitude in an 18-foot Sioux tipi, studying and experiencing nature. He has written about this experience in his book One Solitary Tipi. After his time in solitude, he worked in 40 countries over 12 years doing relief/construction work, starting schools, teaching English, building churches, and producing films and videos. While working in Japan he met Junko, whom he married in 2000. After becoming a father (Miki is now in university), Randy started a commercial photography company to "keep my young family alive." He specializes in advertising and magazine photography, where his work regularly appears in the top furniture and home magazines, calendars, and corporate websites.
Randy lives just a stone's throw from P. Graham Dunn and Anna's Chapel, and produces beautiful and creative shots of them almost daily. We are privileged to call Randy our friend, neighbor, and photographer par excellence.
As an employee-owned company located in the heart of Ohio's Amish Country, P. Graham Dunn designs and handcrafts inspirational and sentiment-driven home décor and gifts that have provided encouragement, peace, and hope for over 45 years.
Our guiding principle is "Crafted to Inspire," and this is reflected in everything we do. From the décor we create to the interactions we have with one another, we seek to spark meaningful, lasting memories.

"Aren't you the guy who lived in a tipi?"
This is the single most popular question that Randy, the notable Tipi tenant, has been asked in his life. In his quest for true purpose, Randy chose living in a tipi for three years. Journey with him as he candidly recounts experiences and questions that brought him to the point of packing up and moving out--out to nature.
It is not a book of travel and adventure, but rather of identity, brokenness, healing, and then showing up on the real battlefields of life. This is a true story of how it all began by going into the woods, alone, and then emerging a very different person three years later.
Randy Fath is an avid nature lover and a professional photographer. The most defining moments of his life happened in the great outdoors. He longs for everyone to find their true identity and healing in Jesus Christ, and strives to serve people with highest regard--knowing that eternity depends on it. Randy resides in Dalton, OH.

P. Graham Dunn is more than the number one supplier of US made wall décor. The company is named after its founder, Peter Dunn, a China-born missionary kid who grew a business that started in the basement of the group home for young women in New York City, and became a multi-million dollar enterprise.
Now, Peter Dunn shares his moving story: of being raised far from his missionary parents, his years of wandering as a young adult, marrying his wife LeAnna and raising a family, and mistakes he made early in his career as a business owner that paved the way to the success of P. Graham Dunn, always against a backdrop of a strong faith in God and following God's leading.
You will discover more than just a business success story. You will discover a man of faith who made mistakes but learned from them, and forged ahead on the path with God's guidance. You’ll laugh, cry, and learn from the life of Peter Graham Dunn.
Peter Graham Dunn is the founder of P. Graham Dunn, the nation’s top supplier of US-made wall décor. He was born in China, grew up in Canada, married a steady Mennonite girl, LeAnna, helped raise four children, and continues to reside with LeAnna on their family farm in Ohio’s Amish and Mennonite community.

I love reading the Memoir of Peter Graham Dunn
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! I know Peter but had no idea of the details of his life - his gifts, drive, and feelings. It was a very interesting read!
