I am an avid reader and family person.  Also I am a member of the Red Hat Society; I enjoy dressing uniquely and getting together with my fellow Red Hatters.  I am essentially retired at 51 due to disabilities related to diabetic neuropathy (hands/wrists, feet/ankles and face) and degenerative arthritis (in my neck).  I do a little volunteer work and will be seeking for more as I recently retired from the local Free Medical Clinic after I was hospitalized over the holidays for influenza B and pneumonia.
