Sonia and Jim grew up in New York and lived in NY until moving to Washington State greater Seattle area in 2002 to be near their grandchildren. We miss NY but at the same time live Washington State and have made many new friends.

We raised our three children; and have seen them become fine adults. Annette and her husband John and Cherie, our two daughters and son-in-law, live here in Washington while our son Jamey lives in NY City.

Jim is retired and puttering around the house, he worked for many years at an Airport in New York. He has loved airplanes and flying since he was young. Jim really enjoys using the computer and smart phones now and has entered the technology age.  Jim is into building pro bono websites, woodworking, browsing hot rod and old car magazines, going to car shows and rally’s, checking out the antique shops, yard sales and flea markets.

Sonia is helping the Historical Society rent out one of their buildings called the Waltz Building for assorted venues. She is involved the knitters guild of Snohomish and many actives for children causes.

Both Jim and Sonia are heavily involved in volunteering their time to Kiwanis, and other agencies.
