Fan Mail

I REALLY enjoyed the series on the big move. I thought you covered all aspects well and pointed out some things I hadn't considered or known about (like the financing and borrowing against your CDs). Great series and keep us updated about how ultimately the move works out and what fulfilled your expectations and what surprised you after you have lived in your new house a while. I also am a member of the Rock Retirement Club and that's where I found out about you after they interviewed you in the club. Thank you, Sarah Thompson.
