es, and watching them learn and grow. My oldest Lindsay was three year varsity cheerleader, softball letterman and in choir just finished 5th in state. I research, compile, recommend and book hotels for my clients groups and group travel needs- training, conventions, conferences, boards, retreats, etc. for all group travel. Called site selection company and specialist I am within it, with HB the largest booking group of all major hotels and hotel chains, with 700 associates and $550+ million booked a year. I like the hotel industry--30 years in it now.
Like to golf, watch sports since knees gave out after too many years of playing basketball & softball, helping my daughters grow and expand their worlds, and travelling with the family and in the industry. Get good opportunities to travel a lot, so hope will see old college friends as I travel around the country. Let me know where you live now--like to coordinate visits when in your areas. Guest room always open in my house in Indiana with cold beer & wine in the refrigerator. Fla. Southern College was great years in college in Florida, OX fraternity alumni, too!!
