My wife and I have been married for 65 years, and together we have three boys and one girl. I enjoy fishing and reading. I saw most of Europe during WWII.

Neighbor #1:
One of my favorite childhood memories is of taking long walks with my father on Sunday afternoons. He passed away when I was only 15. I went to high school along with many evening college classes and became a secretary at the age of 19 for the Vice President of Purchasing in Detroit. I was also a medical secratary. I have three children, two daughters, one son. In Colorado we would vacation, and eventually owned our own property and horses there. I had been on many tours and cruises with my late husband. I enjoy reading, singing, swimming and volunteering at church, the library and at Jacaranda Trace wherever needed. Who am I?

Neighbor #2:

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of the two story home my father built, fishing, and graduating High School in New Jersey. I produced and researched the first printing circuits, TV sets and set up the first TV station in New York. I also worked as a plant manager with Aircraft Inovators and helped develop the first electronic calculators ever. My first marriage lasted 28 years, and we had three children. My second marriage lasted 38 years, with two step-grandchildren. My final marriage was at age 72, we married and came to Florida. We built a new home together and planted 100 rose bushes on our property. We traveled all over the world together, to Africa, Austria, Holland, China, France and Italy, among other places. I enjoy woodworking, singing in a barbershop chorus and quartet, and I am still singing today! Who am I?
