We've been married for 33+ years and have lived in London, Ontario since 1971.    We have a daughter and a son, both in their late twenties, who we consider our best friends.    When they were younger, we took our battered pop-up trailer on the road each summer to explore North America and, over 14 years, managed to cover 47 states and 9 provinces.    However, as they moved on to their own agendas, we just changed the focus of our travels and substituted dance for other attractions (hot tip: the Grand Canyon looks the same the 2nd time you see it ).

In other words, it was a minor adjustment for us to pursue our new dancing hobby away from London.    Since 1995, we've used our trailer (now a big Airstream) to visit places where Swing, Shag and other forms of partnered niteclub dancing are local priorities.    RV'ing this way gives us all the conveniences of home while we're on the road and, simply, lets us combine two activities we enjoy (ditto when we teach dance on cruise ships).

Mike spent his career in Human Resources management, 28 years of it at the University of Western Ontario -- the last 10 as Director of Compensation.    After 15 years as a full-time "Mom", Inge went back to teach senior English at Lucas Secondary School for 12 years.    For years, our careers and briefcases won the battle.    We simply had no time for hobbies!

However, now (early) retired, we're winning the war ... thoroughly enjoying the freedom to travel, to pursue our interest in various styles of Swing and other partnered niteclub dancing, and to do other fun stuff :-)    Click here for information about our dancing hobby.
