WE LIVE IN DELAWARE (OHIO) NOT IN COLUMBUS!!! To show others that the world is an absolutely wonderful place, full of great people! ABOUT US My wife & I, are 70 and 71 years old, respectively. And, now, both of us, are retired. We’re open minded, and have traveled a bit of the world. Hope to do more, though! My wife worked for a couple of non profits; and I worked mostly in business. PHILOSOPHY You go through life once - this isn't a dress rehersal! I want to make this world a better place than I found it! Think of retirement (someday) as being like the TV series "Golden Girls" - independent, but with others. I believe ANTHING is possible if one is willing to do what it takes!!
