Don has five (05) children consisting of four (04) boys and one (01) girl, and (03) three grandchildren consisting of (02) boys and one (01) girl. My children are named Guy Allen, Ryan Edward, Donald Joseph, Shawn Luis, and Rachel Betsy. All of my children have good careers. I hope to see all of my children from time to time as we travel around the country. I am very proud of my children!
Both of us want to live a long and healthy retirement lifestyle so we will be putting additional efforts into exercise (walking, hiking, biking) and healthy eating.
