time for our local Lexus dealership as one of their 11 retired Drivers. We have a very flexible schedule and get the opportunity to drive world class cars every day to various places in NC. Pretty good jig! There is no way I could sit around and do nothing.
Lee manages our 3 rental properties as well as officiating NCHSAA Volleyball as a State rated official.
We have two great children, Whitney and Brandon. Whitney is a UNC grad and is working in the Business world in NYC. She is getting married in May. So much for my retirement money. Brandon graduated from Lees-McRae College and enjoyed playing Lacrosse.for 4 years. He now lives in Lexington, Virginia and does contract specialty woodworking projects.
