ACTIVITIES: Jogging, basketball, tennis, yoga and meditation, hog calling, raising racing turtles, avid earthworm and ant farmer, I spend at least 6 hours a day watching my ants working their farm ... they're fascinating creatures! I just love to watch them travel their network of tunnels, trying to get my mind in tune with theirs, hoping to mentally experience what they are thinking about. I like to imagine myself crawling along with them as they travel along the network of tunnels. It is so completely exhilarating!!! A lifelong goal of mine is to be able to fly like a bird, soaring over land and sea!
SUMMARY:
Life has been rewarding and interesting. My name was legally changed to ( Filer ) in 1970 ostensibly for
business reasons. So, I've been Filer longer than Filerino. Traveled extensively, mostly for business, with
some great vacations thrown in. I had a chance to relive high school through my son Michael, when he attended
high school and played Varsity Basketball, Football, Track and Soccer. He kept me busy driving to various fields
and gymnasiums. Loved it. One of the nicest things that happened was getting back together with my SAH
classmates. Looking forward to upcoming reunions.
