After 41 1/2 years of railroad train operations, retirement is a great thing. We have renovated 3 homes since 1976 and slowly working on our fourth and current residence. We have three adult children; our daughters are both married to good men and our son remains single. We have five grandchildren, four girls and one boy. We enjoy travel to such places as: Oahu, Maui, Kaui, Cabo San Lucas, California and we are fortunate to be able to spend one month a year in Florida, on the beach. The game of golf occupies many Spring, Summer and Fall days. I’m also the family handy man, when the need arises.
