Proud and not embarrassed of growing up in a small coal mining town in Illinois. I can remember going to the “company store”. We were poor but didn’t know it! Yes, Florida is a good place to retire. Illinois was a good to place to get an education and to work. We have family who settled in Florida in the 60’s and family who have lived all their lives in Illinois. Love them all. I’m not a Southerner or a Northerner, I’m an American. Fore!
