En détails…

An active life and mind will keep you young. I'm 70 years old and love what my life has been so far. So interesting. I wouldn't live in any other city than Rochester, NY. I love this town. Unlimited opportunities for education, music and social activities and never a dull moment unless you're brain dead. Having a manic mind has helped.

I quit working when I was 49. It was time after working without time off for some 37 years. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have made it another year. A sobering thought for me as a blue collar worker.

During that time I was fortunate to have jobs that some people would give an arm and a leg for. From being raised on a farm in the Appalachian Mountains when everything was powered by horses with no "modern conveniences" and no car, to being educated in Mechanical Engineering and working on computer mainframes, teaching skilled trades, working as an auto mechanic, driving big trucks, and 7 years in the US Navy working in ship's operations and aircraft control to building desk top PCs and programming for video editing and conversion.

I think New York State has the best fishing, boating and (after spending some 25 years as an amateur free lance musician playing the tuba) artistic and cultural activities.

I've been in every state, city, small town and village in the country as a truck driver along with most of Europe, Scandinavia, British Isles, the Caribbean, and Central America. All that is why I decided to stay in Rochester. It's safe here.
