From 2008 questionnaire:

        7.  Favorite place (city/state) where you have lived and why - We've been here for forty years this fall. (Didn't bounce around much did we?) Actually we came here in '68 so I could get my Master's degree. I really didn't intend to stay. However, Linda has lots of family in Omaha and mine wasn't that far away, an important factor for us. Plus Lewis Central was a good school and a good place to work.

We've done a couple of cruises and traveled some and intend to do more of both while we enjoy our good health.
