Now they can not imagine doing anything else. The transition to Innkeeper has taken place gradually as both maintained part-time jobs in Ontario for the first five years. Donna just retired in 1999 from being a Case Manager in HomeCare in Hamilton and Jim is still working one or two days a week as a consultant for an Air-conditioning company in St. Catharines. Probably the biggest adjustment is maintaining contact with their seven children and five grandchildren who are scattered from Ontario to Alberta and California to New Zealand. But having skied in Ellicottville for 20 years, both feel that this is their home .
Home is where the heart is.
