"My wife Jean and I searched
for several years for what we considered to be
the perfect retirement location. We wanted to retire near water for
recreation; and, in
an area that was not only economically viable but friendly. We
wanted an area
that had, within a reasonable driving distance, good medical and
educational
opportunities. Of course, we needed a reasonable cost of
living area that we could enjoy a
comfortable retirement on very limited income. More importantly, we
wanted an area
where we could make a contribution to the community.
Both Jean and I are proud
grandparents of eight beautiful grandchildren and
the parents of two beautiful daughters. Both our daughters are in
the medical
profession. We both are college educated and have worked for the
Federal government the
majority of our careers. She, as a budget analyst and I as an
aviation safety
inspector. I'm a retired airline pilot, avid investor, and publisher
of the Internet
weekly publication Investopal Weekly News.
