RETIREMENT IS GREAT!!!! I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!
- I am very involved in my church, Harvey Browne Memorial Presbyterian where I have been a member since 1963. I stay busy keeping up with two reading groups and also enjoy traveling with my husband. We have driven out west more times than I can recall. We are planning a trip to Florida and back up the south east coast in the Spring, and then up the coast of Maine with time out for a Windjammer cruise, and then on to Newfoundland in the fall. We have a group we have gone to many different deserts with on Spring breaks for a number of years. With that group we car camp in very isolated areas and have gotten flat tires and been caught in sand storms and snow storms more than once. We have another group that used to canoe a lot and now enjoys car camping or spending weekends at state parks. Our biggest achievement with that group was canoeing 150 miles of the Missouri River in Montana on part of the Lewis and Clark Trail in 2000. Then in 2002 we drove the Alaska - Canadian Highway with the same group and "drove every paved road in Alaska" before meandering our way back across Canada on our way home. We enjoy season tickets to Actors and to the Louisville Orchestra Coffee Concert series. We also enjoy attending the Voces Novae choral concerts. Our daughter sings with that chorus. W e also enjoy going to the movies. Somehow, our time seems to be very full. I am really sorry to miss the reunion. I think we will be someplace in Canada about that time. I would love to hear from everybody and how you have been spending your life.
