Hi! Grandfather Claude was a semi-uneducated walking mailman, who said the only thing he knew was what was written on the back of postcards. He was the one only one who called me by my full name, David Claude. Welcome to "About Me."
Interests:
My sister Barbara and mother Betty both live at the Reston Sunrise Assisted Living, so I help with their mail, banking, and bill paying. My major "hobby" is preparing a 14-year-old home for resale in 2009, and then moving to a retirement community, perhaps in Georgia near daughter Cindy. I've run 20 marathons, last in 2007, but none in 2008; best sequence was 6 marathons in 6 weeks (including Baltimore, NYC, Marine Corps, Montgomery County, Richmond, and Northern Central Trail), ending that sequence with my fastest time of 4:17 at the NCT. Each spring, free-time permitting, I work part-time as a tax preparer (I did about 90 taxes in 2007 and exactly one in 2008). My wife and I like competitive bridge. Recently, I've subscribed to an on-line genealogy service, which has been really fun to trace the Warlick family back to Daniel Worley's (sic, as written on the British ship's manifest, but Daniel was German) debarkation in Philadelphia about 1750 and his subsequent trek to Lincoln County, NC, with his new American bride. In 2008, I have purchased a $5,000 acre in county-capitol Lincolnton just for the psycological connection to the ancestors; now I need asphalt rather than mud on the county road that accesses the acre. The acre is very close to my great grandfather's land, but not at all close to Grandfather Claude's land, which my father inherited in the early 1970s and promptly sold. Dad started, and I continue to fund, an annual scholarship for a graduate of Lincolnton High School. Go Lincolnton!
