Now the hard one. Tell us what we need to know...50 years in the space below:
After graduating HHS at the age of 17, I left Hicksville and never looked back. I attended college in upstate NY. From NY, I moved to Pasadena, Texas and attended Texas Chiropractic College. I left Texas with a chiropractic degree, a wife, and a beautiful daughter.
Our family relocated to Newport, Rhode Island, where I practiced chiropractic for 6 years, and we had a second daughter. Our next stop was Orlando, Florida, where I practiced chiropractic for another 30 years. Upon retirement, we relocated to Golden, Colorado.
We are still happily married after 38 years. One daughter lives close by in the mountains of Colorado, and my other daughter lives in California. We are grandparents of a set of twins. I have a sister living in Syosset, which brings me back to Hicksville every now and then.
