About Me:
Married with four grown children and two grandsons. Hobbies now consist of writing and speaking tours to promote creative works. Wisdom dictated I give up flying which I loved, and ear surgery to correct a service connected hearing loss (which was successful) prevents me from SCUBA diving activities butnot snorkeling. Miss my home in Hawaii where I was raised; especially the nice evening breezes and soft rain which lullls ones into a delightful coma. Though born in California after my mother visit to mainland U.S. I grew up in Hawaii and ever since then have traveled far and wide, without any inclination (except for Hawaii) to claim any place as home.
