Retired in October 1988 and founded a Habitat for Humanity and volunteered with the International Executive Service Corp (IESC) with assignments in Budapest, Hungery, Cairo Egypt, Malowi, East Africa and others. Moved to Asheville, NC in 1998 where I started a real estate firm covering the downtown area. Volunteered as a mediator for 10 years and was involved in many downtown Asheville activities. It's a great city!
I lived at 797 Monroe St. NE until I was 7 years old and then moved to 757 Lawrence St. NE
I am still living in downtown Asheville. It's growing but still a vibrant city. Geraldine, my wonderful wife of 57 years died on February 28, 2016. I will miss her.
Just moved out of the City to 2108 Appalachian Blvd., Arden, NC 28704
