You've done lots of great things. I noticed the above, though, and was curious if that is a regional thing: Yogi Bear grounds keeper?

EE,
I'll take a guess that it was a Yogi Bear RV campground. It's a franchise.

Hello Neighbor!
I wonder how many people know where your town is located! I have passed thru it many times on my way to the big "A" (Alachua).

Started working in family business at 11 or 12. Continued during school and university.
University at 18. Spent far too much time there.
Started my own design business but ended up being recruited by a major television and film producer.
Worked as a production designer for 23+ years. (Did some background stand-in work on the latest Moby Dick film with Ethan Hawk and William Hurt - 2 years ago).
Moved to the country 22 years ago - didn't look back.
Met a great woman at that time - got married and started a family later on.
Traveled a bit. Volunteered a lot for community groups.
Got laid off 2 years ago after and during heart health problems.
Resurrected my design business - even though I still ran it off and on over the years.
Became more of a stay at home Dad.
Starting doing things that I put off for years due to working too much!
Surviving and learning to downsize.
Trying to have fun... that's my story and I am sticking to it!

If I had to do it again I would change a few things....

Ah thanks. I knew by the way it was written I SHOULD know; I just didn't place it.
