Keith 's Story
Life
We have been living overseas 25 of the last 30 years.
My wife (Gabriele or "Gaby") is a German citizen. She is a blessing to us all -- a super wife, mother and Christian. I like to say, if I die and came back as a kid, I pray she's my mom (smile).
I retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel in Feb 2002, and relocated from Korea to Germany to live near my in-laws. We'll be living in Germany for the next few years before finally settling in Florida (near a golf course!).
We have 5 kids - 4 boys and 1 girl. Two of our sons are in the Army (both have served in Iraq at the same base together, and one has served in Afghanistan), two youngest kids (son, 9 and daughter, 14) are still at home, and one son is in college.
I'm still 6'3", but now 215lbs vs. 175lbs from HS and college days (smile) Â still fit, but have given-up basketball and track (except for occasional coaching youth teams). We are a skiing, hiking and golfing family. Wife keeps us healthy and very much involved i...Expand for more
n outdoor activities. Three-mile family walks (with my 73 year old in-laws) on forest trail are normal!
I've been Captain of "Team USA" for three years. We are 25-30 American amateur golfers living in Europe. We compete against "Team Germany" in annual Match Play (Ryder-Cup-like) golf event each Oct. Our record is 2-1, with our first loss this year by a very small margin. About 90% of all German and American golfers who participate have single digit handicaps. It is great fun, amateur golf a higher level. The social activities and post-competition celebration over two days are very family-oriented; building life-long bonds between German and American families.
I look forward to hearing from classmates who travel or live in Europe.
We owe all of our good fortune to God.
Warm regards,
Keith "Touché" Cromartie
