[Paul from Arkansas]

Hi my name is Paul and my wife's name is Sharon. We have planned on our retirement the past 10 years, with our focus upon TV since 2007. Sharon was an RN and retired in 2012 and I spent 30 years in the National Guard, and then the last 15 years as an instructor and manager of instructors at the Professional Education Center located on Camp Robinson in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Sharon's hobbies are just about anything creative and I am thinking of writing a book. We have 5 kids (counting spouses), 7 grandkids and 1 great grand daughter. We have 2 mini-havanese dogs in which my wife treats like kids. We are currently renting and close on our house on the 14th of October. We have been here on vacation 5 previous times and are excited about finally living the dream.

Our good friend Jim Morton is a Razorback, there are some others here, not me!!! I am from Mississippi, California and Tennessee. For me it's Bulldawgs, Trojans and Tigers!! You will love living here, we have been here three years. My wife, Ann, does line dancing and zumba, just golf for me.. Good luck on your move.

Congratulations on your move to The Villages!!
I am not from Arkansas ,but I went to college in Fayetteville . While in college I went to most of the home games and have always supported the Razorbacks. I went to one game when #1 Texas played #2 Arkansas . My team did not win!

Hope you enjoy your new home!
Hope you get to write that book!
