The Dean Family/Riverview




Generation 1& 2

The Deans live in Riverview.  This family begins with Tansy Parker (created in CAS), a vegetarian party animal, who later marries brave, athletic police officer George Dean.  Tansy & George wait until reaching the top of their careers before having a child which leaves their only son, George Jr., parent-less in his teen years. He is forced to grow up way too quickly. Please Note: Part 1 is not really a story, but more of a progression of the Dean Family as they grew, sort of like a photo album.
