I stayed with that job until completion, then decided it was time to retire. Martha and I live on Lake Minnewaska during the Spring and Fall and spend our Winters at our Mesa, Arizona home.
Martha had no children and I have two children, my daughter Traci who is married and has 2 children and lives in Greenwood, Indiana and son Christian who is in the Navy and on the Aircraft Carrier USS Ronald Reagan.
