Places I've been

Chester County, PA (Hometown),

Lived in Denver, CO from July 1978 til March of 1979. We skied our tails off. Climbed the Flatirons in Boulder.

Moved to Winchester, KY in March, 1979. Bought our first house. Had our first child. Did a lot of biking along the back country roads. Was very sorry to move on.

We've been in FL for almost 25 years now. I'd love to live further north again.

Travel

I've been fortunate to have visited many places across the country as well as Taiwan for a Rotary International Conference and in 2001 almost three weeks in Ireland, England and a day in Paris by way of the Chunnel.
