ft the island of Java in 1999 due to political unrest and decided to "stay' home. We have visited fifty four countries and enjoyed each of them. We have eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who are delighted to visit us at our small ranch on the Colorado River in Central Texas. Ralph enjoys working on his classic cars, trucks and now, antique tractors, from a 1931 Model A Ford to his latest - a 1963 Porsche. We keep our boat and motorhome at the coast to enable us to fish in the Gulf when we have time. Ralph especially enjoys hunting. I enjoy knitting, needlepoint, collecting antique dolls and painting in oils. We live quiet life now and take an occasional long vacation. This year it was in Russia.We wish good health and happiness to each who have taken their time to read about our life.
