My Dad served some time with the Marine Corps, in Maryland, post the time he served in New Jersey.

He left, and never looked back. He went home to Minnesota, but, was well aware a few years past, that, if he was younger, he would have to leave here, too. The good fishing/hunting doesn’t make up for what is happening in the seven county metro area.

I can’t imagine my wife telling me where we are going to live, regardless of who already lived there.

Good luck.

Best,
Ted
