I enjoyed my many years owning my own Real Estate Company in Florida. My mother passed away in 1997 so I moved back to Connecticut with my father. He is now 84 and is Re-married to a 36 year old woman he met in his travels. His health is better than mine. I survived Cancer but my finances did not. I am doing OK. I live with my X-wife and have 3 living children out of 4. I hope and pray that all of you are in good health and happy. I have happiness and I have been trying my best to close some international financial brokerage deals for our Foundation. Never give up because you may succeed again no matter what the obsticals may be. Good Luck!
