Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

Healthy slender man of 76, looking and living 67. Looking to create and share a peaceful, natural place.
My friends say I am thoughtful, healthy, good-looking, honest, helpful, dependable, fun, trustworthy, kind, a good guy with a calming resonant voice. I appreciate their input, but wonder if they’re a little bit biased.
I grew up on a diary farm here in Charlotte Vermont, by Mt. Philo. I would describe myself as a positive man with family and friends who enjoys all nature’s gifts, growing things, a positive life style ,and having good work ethics and skills for taking care of home, family and self!
I enjoy playing pickleball, I also help coach. I would gladly give up a point to help a new players gain skills, to laugh and to enjoy the game. I find it satisfying to encourage and support others. I also enjoy gardening, hiking and most all outdoor things.
I was fortunate to have a long time career at IBM in engineering and also in the semi-conductor industry. I later enjoyed the independence of creating and managing my own businesses, A B&B was one of them in the Woodstock VT. Area. These gave me the opportunity to travel and meet a diverse groups of people all over the world.
I would like to meet a nice heathy in mind and body woman, friends, then maybe a partner to enjoy everyday activities, grow, explore, travel, and create, a home and then?? We have the rest of our lives! We will not be lonesome! Dave
