Wow, What an honor! Thank you. I really enjoy playing my games here. I joined GT because my wife, Loondog and her 3 sisters, Marylou, Baxter10 and gilbertei play here. I needed to find out what they were saying about me. I picked my name because I have always been a huge Grateful Dead fan. I am very new to many of these games, but my favorite is Thematic Hangman. Every time my wife tries to teach me a new game, and I don't get it, she yells at me. I live in Florida, USA but our hearts are still in Pennsylvania and we are trying to get back home. We have great beaches and of course The Mouse House!!!! I have always been interested in trains and I love history, especially WW2 movies and books. Baseball is another interest of mine. I have a son and daughter and 5 grandchildren. I am retired now, but worked as a surety claims supervisor for a major insurance company. I am a male and over 50. We love to travel, mostly cruising, and last year were in Norway. We loved the fjords. Since I am currently in a rehab center for a broken hip, I would love to be anywhere but here. I really enjoy Jeopardy and can answer one or two questions almost every show. I have too many favorite movies to list, but mostly WW2 films. If I had the chance, I would love to meet and spend time with Winston Churchill. I found GoldToken through my family and thoroughly enjoy spending time here. I've been a member for over 3 years. I have met the nicest people. Everyone has been very welcoming. Thank you! Garcia
