This is a photo of our family taken on a family cruise to the Mexican Riviera. We have been blessed with three children (two sons & a daughter), thirteen grandchildren and two great grand children.

I retired from the Electric Utility Industry in 2004. Once I retired, I then activated my post-retirement plan to join Jill in operating the travel agency which she had founded and operated for a number of years prior to my retirement. We enjoy traveling & cruising and helping clients who also enjoy doing the same. We have appreciated the opportunity to help plan and participate in each of the NCHS Reunion Cruises.
