I have called Tallahassee home, and I’ve grown to love this area.
Where was your best vacation ever?
Several years ago my wife and I were able to travel to Maui, where we spent a little more than a week.
Obviously, the weather and the scenery were incredible. We made our base on the west side of the
island which is more for us tourists, but we traveled to the east end where we met up with friends who
live there, and we ―lived‖ Hawaiian. Experiencing the islands like a local was awesome.
What do you plan to do when you retire?
My wife and I have 11 acres that we call home, and I spend a lot of time on mowers and tractors, so
I’m quite sure I will be doing the same when I retire. Since I will be better able to keep up on the
chores, we can spend more time at the beaches of South Walton County, which is our preferred desti-
nation of leisure. Treat yourself sometime to the cities of Seaside, Watercolor, or Rosemary Beach, on
highway 30-A. They are beautiful.
