The 'rest' of the story? I grew up on the 'Jersey Shore (no, not the show) & have been skiing for forty-five years. Starting in my teens, my Dad & I would do three-day trips to Vermont (sleeping in my van for a night) so when 'my life' allowed it, I could not wait to 'own' up here. I purchased my home in Proctorsville, Vermont twelve years ago & have been dashing back & forth to 'Jersey since then! Two Ski-Doos fill in the time between the mountain & XC. I'm well known as 'Captain Bob' (especially in VT!) & am Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain with a Charter Fishing service on the 'Jersey shore. Besides fishing in VT & NJ, golf & tennis fill my summer months.
