After five corporate moves in Texas and Mississippi, they landed in Lufkin TX where they remained for 23 years. They were active in boy and girl scouts, the Chamber of Commerce, and the community college. At the parish and school Ann served in the choir, as PTA president, and was instrumental in starting a school lunch program. Gerald served on the local school board, the Diocesan school board, and the Parish council. After their first son arrived, Ann was a stay-at-home-mom, but later was a bookkeeper.
Gerald sold their business in 1996 and Ann retired from her job with a local non-profit corporation the same year. During a two-year sabbatical they found Hot Springs Village and Gerald started a new career with United American Insurance Co. They relocated to the Village in November, 1999.

He is presently completing his second term as State Council Warden and is beginning a fourth term as Fund Raising Director. He also serves on the State Council Fourth Degree Team.
