Robert and Gayle both grew up in Arkansas.  Robert was a “military brat” in the central part of the state and Gayle was from a small farm community in the southeast corner.  They met in Conway, Arkansas and were married 6 months later. 

They now live in Southwest Missouri with two cats, Clarence and Mya and their dog, Brees.  They are the proud parents of 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren.  They both work for Hospice, Robert is a Chaplain and Gayle is a Bereavement Coordinator.

They like hiking, trail walking and just being outdoors.  They are avid sports fans (Okay, Gayle is the avid sports fan) and can be found watching the Arkansas Razorbacks, the St Louis Cardinals, and the New Orleans Saints.  They have recently discovered that they really enjoy riding motorcycles and are always looking for a new adventure.
