Over the years since retiring, there has been more free time to write novels. Now that using a computer makes it so much easier than in days gone by, he enjoys writing more. In addition, he and his wife have enjoyed traveling around Europe and Great Britain. Their pet is a six-and-a-half-inch Southeast Asian Yellow-margined Box Turtle that was a 1988 Father's Day present.view less
