Henry is a retired forester and blueberry farmer, an avid sports flyer, craftsman and outdoorsman with a keen interest in nature and how we live in relation to the natural world and each other. Robbie (Roberta) is also retired – from a corporate role that brought her into contact with people and institutions across the globe. She wants to understand how humanity came to be where it is from both historical and cultural perspectives. Together they have resolved to spend their remaining years of health and vigor in experiencing what this world and its occupants have to offer – seeing different forms of wildlife and ecosystems, taking on physical challenges (relatively mild ones as are appropriate for seniors!), seeking out some of the ways our fellow humans live, and honoring the dazzling diversity of this extraordinary planet.
