Laughlin, CA with wife June.
He's discovered the road with his new motor home and Saturn car, and he has

"Full timer" means. My Dad and June are doing the full timer
thing now!

Actually, she's younger then me (I am the oldest) but she's next in line. Melanie is
11 months younger then me. She is married and lives is Hemet CA with her husband Dan
and their 3 little boys (Daniel, Christopher and Robert) and new little
sister Lauren. Melanie works as a financial wizard for some hospital
corporation. To demonstrate their financial acumen, Melanie and Dan
just purchased their 3rd home. Pretty soon, everyone in Hemet will pay
rent to Melanie and Dan! Their new house has a large yard, so all of
Melanie's kids can live and play together.

She was born in 1970, so she's the baby, but she got married first to Alan
Carter and have 3 cute little girls (Elizabeth and Alexandria and Samantha). She
