I’d heard about Dick Sanders for several years - short, muscular, pony-tailed ex-marine with a taste for beer, a heart of gold and the brains and hands to build or fix anything. Then I met him. All true. Dick and his lovely wife, Terry, put us up for the night in their cozy home. They came to Melbourne from the Bay Area and found their fixer-upper on a nice lot. Let me say, it’s a pleasure to be in a home that has been lovingly and artistically improved from the wood floors to the porcelain cabinet knobs to the paintings on the walls to the blue tiles in the swimming pool and, yes, even to the fake snake and severed leg sticking out from the wooden platform over the creek in back where Dick feeds his wild turtles. (He does have a sense of humor.) Terry works in her home office of warm colors and Asian art. She is gracious and insightful, and it was great to make a connection with her. She and Dick love to travel and we enjoyed hearing of their adventures in exotic locales while we dined on spanokopita and moussaka at a local Greek eatery. Thank you, Terry and Dick.
