Explanation of sudden change in location
On February 17th tragedy struck my family. My 26 year old son was victim of homicide. I found myself in need a complete change I had recently purchased a motorhome and I have a daughter in college in Orlando that I wanted to be closer to so I have been in Florida for the past several months traveling around. I am a member of A thousand trails and I have found it to be a great asset. I have enjoyed the time I have spent at each resort I have visited I actually visited fiesta key at the end of April. I know I would be a great sales agent for a product that has been so important in my life the last few months. Thank you for your consideration.
