Well...here goes!! I came to Belize in 1979 as a Peace Corps Volunteer and I fell in love with the place. I am originally from up-state NY, but Belize is called home now.
I have 5 children 17,15,10,7,3....since I do not have Social Secruity,.... when the time comes I hope that my children will pitch in for the "ole man". I have a small Hardware business in Santa Elena (Allen's Hardware), and I reside in a quiet place called Central Farm, located on the Western Highway 6 miles east of San Ignacio. Can't miss the place...it's the only place painted with Poka-dots all over the buildings. If you are off the island and in my area, please give me shout.
