Two grown children and a besutiful granddaughter, all of whom I have a wonderful, warm relationship. I come from a large family - parents and 5 sisters, with occasional family get-togethers with 4 generations!
High school career & techniocal teacher, looking forward to retirement in a few years - love my job and working with young people, but also learning to make time for me!

An Ideal First Date Would Be

Walking/hiking through Hocking Hills follwed by coffee/tea and light lunch/dinner would be wonderful in the fall.

I enjoy meeting people and am confortable in a variety of situations, so I am open to something conventional or a little non-traditional!

What Do You Look For?

It is important to me for a man to be trustworthy and to have integrity. Although I recognize that everyone has faults and may have some 'baggage', I would want my partner to be an active Christian, hopefully to share faith experiences and practices together. I would want him to be educated without being arrogant, and to be friendly and willing to meet other people.
