Welcome To My Page!
Hi, Bob Roop introducing myself here. Though I traveled the US and foreign lands as an amateur and professional athlete, I am now for the most part a homebody in Lansing, Michigan. By using the Internet, unless one’s physical presence is required, we can travel the world from our own homes, can’t we? Let me assure you from personal experience, depending on to where that travel is intended, your computer or TV screen is the smartest, aka safest manner to take yourself there. One of my working assignments was to a country that held me hostage and tried very hard to make that visit my final one before the hereafter. Indeed, it is that experience that motivated the book birthing this website. Greetings and welcome, I hope you find cause to visit me again. I will be working to continue this interaction.
