HESTER, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in every respect with Judge Johnson’s well reasoned adjudication. I write separately only to express dissatisfaction with the wife’s alimony award of $4,800.00 per year for four years. This is totally inadequate. For twenty-five years she made substantial contributions to the marriage and the family as wife, mother and homemaker. For many years *144prior to the separation, the family income averaged in excess of $150,000.00. A comfortable life style was attained. The alimony should be sufficient to enable the wife to maintain a similar life style as well as to prepare herself for re-entry into the business world; not an easy undertaking.
