We live in the St. Louis area, which is home and where the newspaper is the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and there are Cardinals baseball, lots of Catholics, and wonderful Italian restaurants.

From mid 1991 until mid 1997, we lived in Memphis, where the newspaper is The Commercial Appeal, and there are Elvis and blues and gracious, faith-filled people, and wonderful barbecue.

Ray is retired from DOD and the Mo. Air National Guard. After his federal retirement, he spent a year working in Saudi Arabia and four years working for Ensafe/Allen & Hoshall, an environmental remediation firm in Memphis.  He has now retired again to a life of fishing, golfing, tinkering, traveling, and watching CNN.

Peggy is retired from her job as an auditor and manager with DCAA. She is now online often checking her e-mail from several discussion lists related to contemplation and to social justice. She particularly enjoys the community on the Sojourners  discussion list.

Peggy also has volunteered at our parish St. Norbert as well as Holy Trinity Parish in St. Louis, North County Churches Uniting for Racial Harmony and Justice, Old Jamestown Assn., Pallottine Renewal Center, and the Institute for Peace and Justice.   Click here for a resume. 

Below are some pictures of our yard, altogether 4 1/2 acres. Fun for Peggy riding the big tractor around; not as much fun for Ray who mows all the grass around the trees and close to the house.

And below is a picture from our condo at Lake of the Ozarks. It is beautiful there. Peggy brings her notebook computer and sits at the desk just next to the windows. Ray goes out in his bass boat or fishes from the dock.
