Meet the Ahmansons, Howard, Roberta, and their son David. As a family, the Ahmansons read, worship, travel, watch films, sometimes hike, and dig into whatever subject comes up at dinner together. Conversation may range from the latest film to the hidden Christians in Japan after 1700 to Mayan religion. It all depends on what family members have been reading lately. At present, Howard is most deeply concerned with housing and land use issues, Roberta with art, religion, and journalism, and David on matters of film following his studies at the University of Southern California Film School.
