and laughing. What fun for a good cause! Thanks to Sherrie and Christine for

keeping things moving smoothly! People left to have lunch and Rich and Pam

cock’s, the local grocery store was a favorite stop. Main Street was decorated

for Fall/Halloween. It had several shops including one that sold ice cream.

Right outside was a bench on which to sit and enjoy your treat.

Sunday morning and time to leave came early, as usual. Camping had provided

another weekend filled with old and new friends, eating too much, and lots of

fun!

Spotlight on: George and Lorretta Redderoth

George and Lorretta grew up in Chicago. They have two chil-

dren, David and Debra, and three grandchildren, Ashley, Bren-

dan and Eric. In 1982, they decided to semi retire to Florida

where they moved to Palm Coast. Semi retirement wasn’t for

them. George became part owner where he cooked and sold

blue crab meat to various restaurants. After a year he decided

this wasn’t for him. He went to work for a company who had

government contracts. He was in quality control. Lorretta was getting bored, so

they purchased a dress shop which she and her daughter operated. After a few

years, they opened a second dress shop then a children’s shop. After nine

years, Lorretta and her daughter moved on. Her daughter in one direction, Lor-

retta in another. Lorretta and George went into the decorating business. Finally

in 2000, they finally decided to retire for good. They purchased a motorhome

and traveled around the country for many years. They like out west the best but

the east is great for all the seafood. They have traveled the United States twice,

Canada, and cruised to Alaska. Now they are just taking it easy every day.
