How wonderful of Dave Rice to have created this site. Thank you Dave! And....wow....now Dave is continuing to be creative for us and none of us will ever be able to thank him enough. We will try to pay it forward!

My husband Garret (of 51 years) and I are semi-retired and living in the Daytona area of FL for the past 20 years after being snowbirds from MD to FL for 8 yrs. prior to that.

Before moving to FL, I was a Realtor in MD for 25 years also managing a Re/Max office for 2 years while my husband owned a Financial Planning Business. in MD. Prior to that I was a stay at home Mom for 12 years doing the volunteer things like Brownie Leader, GS Leader, PTA President, etc.

Currently, Garret & Kathy still work part time with financial planning for family, friends, and clients. We love doing this and it helps provide the means for all the travel we love doing.

We thrive on vacations and cruises in between spoiling our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. We see them all quite often. We took a family vacation on a cruise over Christmas 2014 and it was wonderful. We are planning to do the same this year with the entire family for Christmas 2019. We love cruising on both the small and the mega ships. River cruising has not worked well for us.

Our travels have taken us both overseas and in and around the USA not to mention the many times to the Caribbean which is just so covenient living in Coastal Florida. We make trips to Las Vegas, Laughlin, Utah, Reno & Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area every year as my husband has cousins out there. Last year we had the wonderful pleasure of enjoying a fabulous 4 month cruise around the world. This year we took a 2 month cruise around South America!

This coupled with many vacations to MD,DE,NJ, & PA to see family & friends has kept us busy.

Father time has played some havoc on our health but like the ever ready battery, we keep on moving!!! Kathy had another knee replacement in 2015 and a total right shoulder replacement in 2018. Bionic is her goal!

We are truly blessed and welcome hearing from classmates etc. We are so glad we were able to make it to the 45th Reunion & had a wonderful time. It was great just visiting back in my home area and also getting to spend time with my brother & his family who still live in Bensalem. Sadly, we missed the 50th Reunion as we were on a cruise to the Hawaian Islands and again we were away for the 55th Reunion. We do get up to Bensalem once a year to see my brother and his wife and are blessed to still have them with us.

We love hearing from everyone and can be reached via email: garrykg@aol.com

After coming from a family of limited means and having to work from an early age, I am sorry to say that I did not participate in much of anything during my HS years at Neshaminy. I just worked & got married too young right out of school, but have certainly rectified that. The proof is my wonderful husband of 51 years and my wonderful family.
