Retired 10 yrs. ago from 30 yrs. as a social worker/bureaucrat for the State Of Michigan. Moved to Minneapolis to be near grand children. Wife & I play a lot of tennis. She makes quilts & does log arm machine quilting commercially. Started playing banjo in the 60's. Had a Seeger model Vega & was a Pete Seeger clone. Don't play in public any more. I make block rims and the occasional whole banjo. Recently got back into guitar building. Putting the finish on my 3rd guitar and have the pieces/parts for a 4th to be built this winter when we go to Harlingen, TX for the winter. Two daughters, three grand children, two cats, and one wife. |

You and your wife play alot of tennis...together? I was once told to never partner with my wife for Bridge, or tennis. Keeps peace in the family. ; ) |

Play tennis with my wife? Very seldom. And when we do play together, I have to be very careful not to have a judgmental look on the back of my head after she makes an error. |
