Once retired Lindsay and I moved up to our house in Virginia City, (70 miles south of Yellow Stone Park) Montana, where I enjoy fly-fishing (and fly tying), hiking and hunting. And when I get time, making Suiseki. Enjoy being actively part of a close knit community; I'm a volunteer firefighter there. Over our summer there's a lot of socializing and fun events.
In the US winter we go down to The Kapiti Coast, New Zealand
(30 mins north of Wellington the capital) where we have a house on the beach
(with great salt water kayak fishing...is there a theme here?)!! In 2015 we
finally finished an extensive renovation of the house, so only just starting
to enjoy it without a ton of sawdust. I have a step-daughter there, Sacha.
She lives in Auckland and is a film and television editor; married to a writer,
producer, and film director ... both married to the film industry so no
grandkids!! We love to travel and enjoy having friends and family visiting
on their travels. And like coming back to the Bay Area often, for extended
visits here to see family and friends.
Fred Ruggiero Took the long plane ride to South Vietnam right after
high school. Came home and married classmate Janis Ruggirello in 1971. We
are happily married and have twin sons. Both have great careers with State
of California Department of Corrections. We are blessed with 3 grandkids.
Both Janis and I retired in 2011 and enjoy travel and golf. We also enjoy
family and I spend the winters waterfowling. All things considered, a great
life.
