"In the city, my kids were a minority in the school that they went to. There's nothing wrong with that, but they didn't get the help they needed, because the teachers were too busy helping all the other kids."

"I had a one-bedroom apartment in the northern suburbs that was a real nasty place, and it was like $600/mo. And I got this three-bedroom, two-bath, attached garage for $56,000, new."

"What drew us to this area was the peace, the location, the solitude. You deal with people all day. You want to go home. You just like your own place. You want to be around people that you choose to be with."

"I really enjoy the feel of the country. I like to have green space -- a place where if you want to go for a walk, you can. Maybe I'm selfish. I guess I enjoy privacy."
