I learned to play chess as a child, but didn't get back to the game until the past few years following retirement. I'm a retired family physician and a retired Associate Professor of Family Medicine, Ohio University; retired in 2007. I'm currently living in Asheville, North Carolina. My wife & I enjoy traveling via our motor-home and cruising with Princess Cruise Line. Also, we live three months in Israel every Autumn doing humanitarian volunteering and enjoying the beautiful land and the people.
