[AARPMichaelP]

Just before the fourth of July holiday weekend we added another ACE to our roster so I wanted to introduce them to everyone! 

A member of the community for over 10 years, @wilful spends a lot of his community time contributing in Friends & Family, Leisure & Lifestyle and Our Front Porch!

If you take a look at wilful's profile you will notice a vast range of interests, roles and experiences over the course of his life. From Ice cream maker to Gym Manager to Gambler with a background in finance and real estate to much much more!

Say Hello!

We are happy to see you gain the role and badge and thank you for the kind words, but it's your peers that determined that you provide top notch value! We just provide the platform!

Welcome @wilful to the ACE program and congratulations.  Hope to see you back at the Leisure & Lifestyle forum on "Start A Story", Alice and Dorothy are having some interesting adventures, trying to stop the borers for taking over and live the world boring.

@wilful Congrats on becoming an ACE!  You mentioned you lived close to DC when you were younger - we are located in DC and I live in a suburb of Maryland - wonder if it is close to where you lived?

Hi Teri - I lived in a rural area called Beltsville.  It is on old US 1,  between Hyattsville and Laurel.  Beltsville's main claim to fame would be the big, white turkeys you get at Thanksgiving; they were developed at the USDA Beltsville facility.  Left at 18 - and occasionally visited, but never moved back.
