4, 2007, in St. Kitts, West Indies. Primary current focus: dealing with cardiac amyloidosis, an incurable condition caused by cancer cells in the bone marrow. It is an ultra-rare disease, I wish I could have won the lottery on those odds. I can still ski and golf but life is not the same without being able to practice. My wife and I purchased a new house in St. Augustine, Florida and moved from Pittsburgh in mid-2017. Published my final writing (law review article on choice of law) in Kentucky Law Journal in January, 2021. Still have the basic writing skills I learned from Mrs. Varley at Bonham Junior High School in 1960. A quality education never leaves you.
