currently living in Blytheville Arkansas, and Kelsey who will be in the
first grade. In 2001 we traveled to China to adopt Kelsey. This was, and
still is one of the greatest experiences in our lives. Karen is retired from
the Air Force and is currently a stay at home mom after over 30 years in
nursing. After moving 8 times in the past 23 years we are enjoying the small
time atmosphere in which we both grew up. Although we enjoy Florida and
moved here to be with Karen's family, retirement will likely see us return
to a climate with four seasons. We look forward to hearing from old friends.
