He has been enjoying being able to spend more time with his younger children at home and do more projects around the house that has been twenty years in the making (that's right, he built his own house... with the help of family of course).

Linda loves to hike and travel the great outdoors with her husband, and has been to many beautiful places around the country, such as Yellowstone and the Tetons, to the Florida Keys and New Orleans, and Tucson Arizona.

He loves the outdoors and has gone on many road trips, fishing trips, and camping expeditions, especially up in the boundary waters. He's also an avid history buff of american history, particularly of the civil war. When Isabel was looking at colleges, it was Kit who suggested the instrument repair program at Red Wing, as he had once considered the program himself in his college days, so it could be said that if not for Kit, Isabel might never have gone to Red Wing and never have met James, so thank you, Kit!
