More About PowderCat
Kevin & Tracy
I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I am married happily with no children. Kevin and I have 2 cats, they are enough for us. I don't get back to my hometown often, but my Mother tells me many people from there have MS. I have one cousin that was diagnosed approx. 6 months before I was. A small town of under 5000 has a shocking number of MS patients.
I joined the Air Force as soon as they would have me. I spent 2 years in the Philippines and 2 years active duty in South Georgia. I got married in 1991 to a sergeant I met on active duty. We have been together now for 17 years. I was discharged from the AF in 1992. We lived in S. GA for 11 years. We finally got to leave Georgia in 2001 to come to Utah. We love the snow and the mountains. We already had our first snowfall on Oct 11th this year! We love the cold! The summers here are brutal. They consider this a desert climate. The daytime temps climb into the high 90s and 100s. I stay indoors all summer long. I have handicap license plates and a remote starter on my truck so I can get the A/C running before I get in so it's nice and cool inside and I don't have to walk far outdoors. When I do go out, I take a lot of precautions.
