I'm as much of an indoor person as an outdoor person. I love being outside, I love to camp, to hike, and I enjoy just sitting and enjoying nature. I have a strong like for art and antiques, so spending time in museums and antique stores is also a favorite pass time. I like to spend time learning and I can't live without participating in one form of athletic activity or another.

Most of all, however, enjoy spending quality time with quality people. No matter what the activity.

Learning is essential. Increase in knowledge promotes understanding, facilitates tolerance, helps us learn from the past and prepare for the future.

I have respect for people who are open to new ideas and new ways of thinking and who dare challenge their personal opinions in order to see if they need to revise them, if, indeed, there is room for improvement.

A willingness to communicate in any type of relationship I have found to be is one of the most essential elements.
