I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in October. I lived down South for quite a long while, but it's good to be back home in Maryland again.

These days I keep busy helping my clients to build and preserve their wealth. I manage some investment portfolios, prepare a few income tax returns, and sell a bit of insurance. In my spare time, I'm restoring a house and planning a monarch butterfly garden to plant next Spring. I also enjoy planning community service projects and social activities for my Rotary Club and some other groups.

I have a son who makes me pretty proud, too. He has caught the Genealogy bug from my grandfather and me, and we have had fun meeting relatives across the U.S. and even in some other countries.
