I GREW UP IN SOUTH GEORGIA AND AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS IN THE NAVY,
I WENT TO COLLEGE AT GEORGIA TECH IN ATLANTA. I GRADUATED IN JUNE 1951
AND MARRIED SARA BOWMAN FROM TALLAHASSEE THE SAME WEEK.

WE LIVED IN ATLANTA UNTIL 1952 WHEN WE MOVED TO TALLAHASSEE. I
WENT TO WORK FOR TALLAHASSEE FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN, WHICH WAS THE
LARGEST HOME LENDER IN LEON COUNTY AT THAT TIME. I WORKED FOR
TALLAHASSEE FEDERAL FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS AND ENDED UP AS SENIOR VICE-
PRESIDENT AND BRANCH MANAGER. I RETIRED JANUARY OF 1985, AND IN 1986
I STARTED TO WORK FOR THE PILLION COMPANY, A REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL
COMPANY.

SEVERAL YEARS LATER, MIKE ASKARI CAME TO TALLAHASSEE AND STARTED
FORTUNE HOMES, AND THE PILLION COMPANY STARTED DOING HIS REAL ESTATE
APPRAISALS. ONE OF MY JOBS AT THE PILLION COMPANY WAS DOING FINAL
INSPECTIONS FOR THE LENDING INSTITUTIONS ON NEW HOMES. I HAVE
PROBABLY SEEN MORE NEW FORTUNE HOMES THAN ANYONE EXCEPT MIKE. THIS
HAS GIVEN ME THE OPORTUNITY TO SEE THE GREAT QUALITY OF FORTUNE
HOMES IN ALL PRICE RANGES AND THE ATTENTION THAT MIKE GIVES TO
ALL HOMEOWNERS, TO BE SURE THEY ARE SATISFIED.

THE PILLION COMPANY CLOSED IN 2005 AND I WAS WITHOUT A JOB.
SINCE I AM A WIDOWER AND ONLY HAVE TWO DACHSHUNDS TO LOOK AFTER AT
HOME, I DECIDED I NEEDED TO FIND SOMETHING TO GET ME OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY AND KEEP ME ACTIVE.

I TALKED TO MIKE AND HE SAID I COULD HELP HIM SELL HIS HOMES AND LOTS.
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH FORTUNE HOMES FOR MANY YEARS SO I AM FAMILIAR
WITH THEIR HOMES, SUBDIVISIONS AND LOTS.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT HOME AND IF WE DON'T HAVE
WHAT YOU WANT, TO HELP YOU FIND THE CORRECT HOUSE PLAN AND LOT. I
AM AVAILABLE DAY AND NIGHT, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL.
