Appreciating our community and local treasures

I am always intrigued to find something new or meet someone new in this community we each call home. Let me first give you a little background – I have a list (well, I have several lists, but one is a mental list) of “Things I Want to See and Do” before departing this world. The list includes such items as sky diving, riding in a helicopter, riding in a jet, driving a transfer truck, driving a race car (on a race track), and so on. I have accomplished several of these wish list items since moving to Gainesville, and I came one step closer to checking off a goal on my list a few weeks ago.
