Have you traveled? where? why?:
We have traveled extensively, 49 of the 50 states (somehow we've skirted Nebraska, but will make it one day.) Have been to all continents except Antarctica butit is on the bucket list. Have traveled to Europe, Africa, South America and Asia several times also to Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Eastern Europe, Madagascar, French Polynesia, Turkey, Dubai, and Australia. I have been fortunate enough to have hunted in South Africa, New Zealand, Spain, and Canada.
Hobbies/Interests:
Most of my hobbies involve food to some degree. Love to hunt, fish, vegetable garden (I grow 25 differnet kinds of garlic) cook bake bread from scratch and eat! In the last 15 years I have developed a wine palate and partake of both domestic and foreign wine adventures. Have been an active member of Rotary for 40 years and a volunteer at numerous community events. Our best local event is Hot August Nights in which we show Kimberly's original, one owner, 1965 fastback mustang. I am happy to say our classmate, Kenny Arave, was able to attend this with us a few months before he passed. Happyness is being a grandfaher and spending time at our Lake Tahoe house.
