SC as a memory

Dear Family E-Subscribers;

We sold the Charleston house on May 29th, 2009. We have a lot of good memories with family that visited and our travels around the Southeastern U.S. We got to Florida a time or two to visit with Mom & Dad when they rented the condo south of St. Augustine; Judy and I took weekend trips to Savannah, GA, Hilton Head, SC, Washington DC, the Biltmore Estate and mansion in Asheville NC and all things around Charleston, SC. We also got a chance to attend the Decker Fall Hike/Walk for a couple of years in-a-row (I made it back for three hikes in recent years and Judy made it back for two consecutive years.) Life is a journey and our adventures in Charleston, SC are done for now. One day we may return as visitors and walk the old stone streets of Charleston, but that's all. Judy and I both made lots of friends during our whirlwind residency - Judy started and managed the Program Management Office (PMO) for SAIC in support of their customer at SPAWAR-Atlantic and I worked the MRAP program and later the NCES program for SPAWAR-Atlantic. We had our business adventures and our liesure adventures but mostly we'll remember Charleston for the heavy work schedules. We got to sample some Southern finery when we lived in the Carriage House at 87 East Bay St. on Rainbow Row but our work schedules were some of the most demanding or our adult lives. .... It's safe to say that we like SoCal and San Diego a lot more. Home is where the heart is - sunny San Diego with our boys. later, jd & jd/sd
