I have 3 sons, 8 grandsons, 1 granddaughter and 4 (one deceased) great grands.
I retired from the University of Illinois July 1979. We moved to Florida and during retirement. I painted in oils, watercolor and acrylics and showed my art in many Art Shows. I took square dance lessons and belonged to two Square Dance Clubs while living in Barefoot Bay, FL. Moved back to my home town in 1992. I live in a condo and am enjoying my family and friends.
The above slides are from my 12 day Hawaii trip in 2007. My Sis Arlene and I went with Stevie Jay's group. About 45 of us took a bus to Chicago and flew American Airlines to Honolulu. We spent two days in Honolulu, then boarded the Pride of Hawaii and cruised the Islands. We returned home the 23rd of January and after the wonderful days in 80 degree weather, returned January 23, to a cold and snowy Illinois.
