Retired But Still Active

Central California High Desert
Retired from these former careers:

*  Television Meteorologist

*  USPTA Club Tennis Director
*  Real Estate Broker
*  Securities Broker

I have enjoyed each phase of my professional careers but the one that gave me the most enjoyment and has been a part of my life for 46 years is the life time sports of tennis and golf.  That is why I stay active during retirement in promoting both sports as a great lifetime source of enjoyment and exercise for every person both young and old.
