Life is always better at the beach, so we moved to Daytona Beach!  We have lived here for 5 years and would love to see any folks from back home if you get down this way.  Sue is unable to travel much anymore, so we don't get back home... it's been more years than I can remember.  

We have 2 children, Heather Ann Calfee Franklin who is a Captain in the US Army Reserve and she served in Kandahar, AFG for 10 months.  She has 3 boys, Collin (16), Jacob (9) and Alex (8).  She currently lives in Oak Ridge, TN.  Our son lives in Radford, VA and is married to his High School sweetheart.   Chris works for BB&T Bank and manages the branch in Christiansburg, VA.  He and Becki have 2 of the most beautiful little princesses ever (Grandaddy thinks so)!  Bella is (8) and Miss Addie is (3).  Her Grammie calls her our little copperhead and we aren't sure if it's because of the color of her red curly hair or if it's because Addie sometimes reminds us that quick little snake that will whirl around before you know it and get cha'.  

Sue and I have been married for 37 years now.  We have lived in Bluefield, VA, Radford, VA, Bentonville, AR and now Daytona Beach, FL.  We love living in our quaint little retirement community.  We are 2.3 miles from the Daytona International Speedway and about 8 miles driving distance to be driving on the South Daytona Shores Beach.  Sue is disabled and most of my day consists of taking care of her and then spending some time with friends and neighbors.  I also work part time as the night patrol for our community.  If you are ever at the beach, look us up and we can have a lunch or dinner together.
