Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Kasilof, 71 year old

Date someone special from Alaska, United States. Challenges are eagerly excepted, thanks to generous sponsors we completed the "IDITAROD TRAIL RACE TO NOME".20 days on the trail was a physical & mental stress test indeed. My team teaching me much about animal & human behavior. "Pay it foreword" is a concept I support 500%. The pleasures received from giving are treasured moments. Public service began at an
early age with the scouting program, U.S.A.F. & 20 plus yrs. with Alaska State Parks, & Oregon state parks. Volunteering is still on my agenda. having a special lady working along side me on some projects would be awesome. Being very optimistic my glass is definitely half full, Focusing on positive issues. Our families are full of laughter and quick wit..
Perfect matches do not exist, making ourselves emotionaly,physicaly. and logisticly avaiable is challenging. Chemistry is only a part of the scenerio. Sharing our hearts, our souls, our bodies, and not compromizing WHO WE ARE, remaining individuals is critical. focusing on each others needs.
Leaving behind our past & focusing on our todays & tomorrows. Being flexible and foregiving, Being the WIND BENEATH EACH OTHERS WINGS Allowing each to BE ALL THEY CAN BE. supporting each others interests, blending personalities as much as possible. Learning, listening, teaching.
allowing appropriate humor to flow(laughing with and not at) laughing until the tears flow!!!!!
Verbal and phsyical abuse should not be tolerated by either person.
As every one of us are starting a new chapter in our lives we all have something in common. We are all unique individuals and should remain so. Thank you for reading my portrait. Thanks for your sincere consideration.
