the fishing is better
Hobbies: Fishing
Have traveled to: I have done some international travel
in my jobs, I won't list all the countries here, but the travel has taken
me around the world twice.
Of interest to other classmates: Janet is from Maine, we met while I was on active duty in the Navy living in Washington, D.C.. We have lived here in Chagrin Falls, Ohio since 1971, but I call Michigan home and she calls Maine her home. So why did we come to Ohio? Janet ownes a H&R Block tax service here, so we probably will be here for another 5 to 7 years. I help her in this business as a tax pro.
