To All ( and I Do Mean ALL ) My Friends on Shore

Its true....as you read this I am back "home" in Southern New England.....Does not seem much like home after 8 great years in Eastern Kentucky ( more on that later ) Not much "Southern" about this place....not a soup bean or Vienna Sausage to be found....

What a wonderful time I had In Kentucky. So many memories to savor like a fine wine. Perhaps I should write a book about all that I got to see and do.....

Happily my business interests will continue to allow me to return to Pikeville often which frankly....suits me just fine.....

But even more than the business is the people I came to know and love. I wish I could introduce them to you in these pages but I fear that I would leave someone or something out and I would rather not risk hurting any feelings.......

Let me say to my friends ( assuming they are reading this.....) I hold our friendship very close to my heart and will for always.....

I am so lucky to have had such a rich life....full of love, laughter and yes sadness ( that seems to come with the territory also ) . My decision to leave was the most difficult I have ever had to make ( believe it ) but the time seemed right for me to "sail" out of the safe harbor and into new adventures.

Our webmaster (Guru) Dave Stanford assures me that I can continue to write in this space and report on whats going on with me. It also helps me a little with my homesickness for you all.

Meanwhile, I will be keeping tabs on everyone and everything in Eastern Kentucky. I will be in Pikeville on July 19-20. If we should bump into each other, lets share a hug.....

Stay with me dear reader and lets keep each other company.
