I am 76 years of age, been in the Ministry with the Wesleyan Church or the Free Methodist Church for 25+ years. It is the only occupation that I have ever thoroughly enjoyed. I became semi-retired in July 2010 but now have arthritis in both knees and am unable to hike at all.
  I am married to Anna and between us we have 7 grown children, 12 grandchildren, numerous great-grand-children.
  I was formerly an avid hiker/backpacker with approximately 700 miles of the Appalachian Trail completed, as well as several local and state trails. Still have beautiful dreams about hiking on the Appalachian Trail
