My wife Loretta and I are the parents of three married children and the grandparents of 12.  We live at Lake Mohawk and enjoy boating in the summer and watching the ducks and geese fly in and move on during the winter migrations.  I have most recently restored a 1968 Dodge Charger which I bought new and it has been in boxes for the past 20 years.
