Wow, hard to believe that it has been over a year since I posted on this site but it has been. So much has happened to our center and there is a lot to share with every one.  

We decided after selling our Central Florida site that it would be wonderful to relocate to an area that I have all ways wanted to be near, Gainesville Florida. Not only is this the most beautiful part of Florida but it is also home to the University of Florida and we really wanted to be near this college.

Over the years I had the opportunity to have many wonderful volunteers from UCF (University of Central Florida) and far more serious "Aprentices" that have moved on to earn degrees and advance in the world of animals and wildlife conservation. I treasure each one and am proud of the growth and accomplishments that they have made to the world.

With this in mind I know I will be able to find wonderful students eager to learn and willing to develop thier skills with the wildlife, environment and education.

I have been struggling for a long time with serious health issues and with the help of "Shands" successful diagnosis and removal of a parathyroid tumor that life will be better.  I have to say that for the first time in years I am feeling so much better.  I have lost a lot of time but think that since I have been given another chance at life I will be able to share my experiences and knowledge with people that are willing to learn.

I'm looking forward to this new year, new life, new facility, new start with a lot of enthusiasm and hope that with God as my guide the right people and things will be brought into our life. Peace
