We presently live in north central Arkansas. We started our lives together in northern Indiana in 1963. Dick worked as a tool design engineer and Arlene worked as a teacher starting in 1964. After a number of years in these careers, we decided to make a major change in our lives and move to an area of the country where we could bring up our children in a safe and interesting environment and work in an area that incorporated our outdoor interests. In the late 1970's we moved to Arkansas and ran a lake resort for twenty-two years where we invited people to visit the Ozarks and enjoy its great outdoors. We loved our new home so much, after selling our business and working a few odd jobs, we settled into working in the real estate field so we could bring people to the area to live permanently or help them with their moving needs. Now we have retired and spend much of our time enjoying Arkansas' many outdoor activities and camping facilities. In this website we want to share with you our love of Arkansas and especially the Ozarks.
