About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet adventurous type people ; Interests in low impact development; Belize : love Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park ,Grand Tetons National Park,the Rhine River cruise we took in 2014 and our 2015 Windstar cruise from Istanbul to Athens . Meeting people from various places and showing off both Boston and my City of Presidents, Quincy. I found this that sums it all up Mark Twain said “Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”

ABOUT ME
Six years ago, at age 62 , I never got bored despite the fact that I spent far too much time s being isolated most days as I and the medical and holistic approaches have led me to a remission of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.Thank God it was discovered in time. Now I am back on the road at 68 to more energy. Love to show off Quincy +Boston.

PHILOSOPHY

As my dad taught me , " Most people get up each day and depending on their age , education and life experience - and they strive to do the best they can do every day."
