Interests
My family is growing! Daughter Ashley and Son in Law Chris just had their first child. Robbie Lee McCarter came into this world on Dec 17th, 2023. My son Wesley is now engaged to Amanda Arias. They plan to wed next year and live in the Charlotte area. I am proud of them and look forward to many great years. I continue to cycle as often as possible and spend a lot of time on the Pinellas Trail in Florida. In October last year I went on my first Cycling cruise in Croatia. What a beautiful country and people. We cycled every day to sightsee with our tour guide. When not cycling, I enjoy kayaking and visiting extended family.
