Several years ago Bob and Jane took a 22 day trip across China. Along the way they had four plane rides, an overnight train ride, stayed overnight at a farmers home and three days on the Yancey River as the river was rising 3 feet per day. Some of the highlights of the trip was visiting: panda museum, Tibet, terra-cotta warriors, the Great Wall of China along with several other interesting stops.
Bob is a West Hartford native who graduated from Hall High and started working in Hartford for the Connecticut Natural Gas company. He moved to Pittsfield as Senior Vice President of the Berkshire Gas Company. His next move was to Washington DC area where he was President of a natural gas trade association. His latest venture was flipping 30 homes in the West Hartford area.
