a fitness program for him. In addition to the personal training, he participates in her golf fitness classes. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t credit her for returning me to some semblance of decent fitness. I frequently enjoy walking and carrying my bag in cool weather, and the golf fitness classes have played a major role in my golf improvement to the extent that I have ‘shot my age’ several times in the past six months. I’ve also been blessed to have golf buds who are younger and more talented than I am, and I’ve benefited a great deal from their tutelage as well as instructions from the Club professionals.” Doc and Ginger stay busy enjoying their four grandchildren’s activities, attending events at their colleges and high school. They are also long-time volunteers for Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries, a charitable organization where their son Randy works. “It’s a wonderful source of inspiration. It feels so good to be in a position to help others,” says Ginger whose physical activities have been significantly limited for the last five years as she bravely battles Parkinson’s Disease. Participating in respective men’s and women’s Bible study groups has been rewarding experiences for the couple. Nine years ago, Doc, along with residents Billy Lemmons and Dr. Ken Washburn, reactivated a men’s bible study that had been inactive and the original group of four or five guys has grown to a group of thirty or more regular attendees. “It’s wonderful. There’s so much spiritual insight evident in the leadership of the group, and so many of the guys have been such a blessing to me, studying from the Word and finding inspiration from our shared life experiences,” says Doc. The couple says that they chose their sunset view lot for their sunset years. As they reflect on their life at Cordillera Ranch, they agree on the rewards they’ve enjoyed. “The people have made it blessed,” says Ginger. Doc sums it up, “Being able to be a part of this community and associated with neighbors who have such moral values and experiences from other parts of the world, we’ve gained from the good fortune that God placed us here.”
