James Schroeder:  

Life I work for Loma Linda Hospital and am a registered nurse,have been married to the same woman for 35 yrs. My wife is a school teacher and is off most of the summer, so the last 5 yrs we have been taking 4-6 weeks off every year and have traveled extensively to Europe, the middle East and Africa. Since 2000 we have been to Switzerland, Israel, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Scotland, and Wales. We just missed the London bombings by 1 week on this years trip. We have 3 kids who are all grown up and we have 3 grandchildren, with a new one due in November 2005. My oldest daughter is a school teacher in San Diego, my second daughter is a social worker, and my son is a Navy Seal in the US Navy. Life has been really great to us. We live in Hesperia,Ca. where we have lived for the last 25yrs. We bought a lot out here and built the house with our own 2 hands, it took several yrs to complete. The best part is it will be paid for in 24 months. We are looking forward to a temporary move to Germany for approx. 2 yrs, when my wife, can get a leave of absence to teach school there, and we can explore on the weekends. We have 2 Weeny dogs, and 2 tom cats, for pets, when the kids were growing up we also had horses, cows, goats, pigs, and chickens....Expand for more
