Retired, have always enoyed music, fod memories of dances at a little 1 room school house back in the early 50s with local musicians playing the most beautiful, vigorous, happy music : square dances were a thrill, waltzs, polkas, schotischhes etc.(Porter and Clark families) Clark family now have their own recording studio and theater in McConnellsville, Ohio. Grandpa Jones jump started me into "taking up the banjo" Also enjoy landscaping, roses, history, researching, do-it-yourself home upkeep, photography, wife, family, friends, grandchildren Weimeraner dogs, etc etc . PS: I like to tease people and tell we went to the state fair and saw "Alice and Krausse both" also enjoy metal detecting (never knowing what one will dig up is fun) and collecting old bottles (antiques)
