   Robert and Mona were able to enjoy their later years as they travelled to different parts of the world, notable South Africa, Australia and Europe. They drove through every state in the continental U.S., as well as every province in Canada.
   The past few years, they have been snowbirds and wintering in Arizona, where they looked after a campground.
