Ken Rudolph tells us: “After selling my house in New Mexico I have been “on the road again” (with Willy, Waylon and the boys) for the last year and a half, living in my RV. I’ve spent this last winter in south Texas… for the third straight year…at a very nice park in Victoria. I’m 125 miles from San Antonio where my daughter and her three youngest reside (3, 5 and 7). What a circus!! I’m summering on the western slope of Colorado – Montrose to be specific. Great little town and a wonderful camp ground. Elevation is 4000 ft. with warm days and cool nights. Sure beats the south Texas summers, which are quite hot and humid. I’m feeling great, keeping my weight in check and working out 5-6 days a week. I’ve been retired for almost 17 years now and hope that it lasts for another 17! Cheers to all!”
