CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy our retirement by travelling and meeting lots of new people.

ABOUT ME

We have been married for almost 20 years. We met in Telluride, Colorado at a square dance and have been dancing ever since. We have 3 granddaughters, oh yeah, and 4 kids. We retired Jan, 1008 and took a round the world cruise to celebrate. Then we took a land tour of Greece and Turkey. We intend to do a lot of traveling while we can. We are both around 60 years old. We hope this does not discourage younger people from visiting us. We found out about CS from a hitchhiker from Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

People are good. In all our travels, we have met the most wonderful people. We help where we can. It feels wonderful to help and/or teach and/or entertain. We are all children of a loving God and the more we get to know each other, the closer we will be to bringing peace to this world.

Interests

We both enjoy travelling and avoiding big cities and enjoying the countryside. We are members of the archeological society in Montrose, we square dance, Duane sings with a barbershop chorus and at church. We both sing with a group that goes to nursing homes. Arleen teaches computer classes to seniors. So we are interested in getting to know areas of the country and world in depth by meeting the actual people who live there. We love wildlife.
