ONE LAST THING, continued

long time, I was a pretty competitive sporting clay shooter. I used to travel all over the country shooting in tournaments. I did pretty well at that, but Father Time has equalized my ability to score there as it has in golf.

Where do you see Desert Mountain in the next 10 years?

In the next 10 years, I see a continuation of what we’re starting to see now, which is a lot more families. We’ll see more school buses and children living here, which I think is fantastic. I think we’re going to start seeing the remainder of vacant sites built out. We’re very close to that now, so we’re going to have a lot of remodeling going on, which will keep the Architectural Review Committee busy. Soon we’ll see some teardowns of existing homes, which will be replaced by newer homes. I also look forward to the continuation of both the HOA and the Club boards working together. It’s a marvelous community with a lot of wonderful people. Joanne and I both feel lucky to live here.
