1970 brought a move to James Bay that would last 43 years. Mom worked at the Empress Hotel until dad’s retirement in 1982. That began a wonderful time of travel for them, for many years. They traveled to Hawaii for 30 some years each winter. The little motor home that mom drove, (and dad kept shiny) brought many happy times with family and friends all over our island as well as many places in the US. also there were a multitude of cruises that were very much enjoyed as well.
