Let’s start with a little bit about yourself. Do you have family? Where do you live?
I do have a family. I have been married for 100 years--not quite, but a long time to my sweetheart, we have two children, three grandchildren and many bonuses who've just added on, who call us Mama, or Pops, and/or Grandma, and Pops. So we have a village.

FROM FACEBOOK__The Cub Scouts of Troop 3256 always leave the world a little bit cleaner and [Bluffton Clean Up]'s heart a little bit lighter during trash pickups. The joy, laughter, plant identification, and hauling out those huge weird objects off the creek bank that take a team effort or one adult that is now really dirty lol. It's always just so much fun. I seriously love it.

Thank you so much to the parents and the scouts for coming out!
