Hi, my name is Douglas Hall. I was born in Longview, Washington, and I\u2019m proud of my roots there.
Family has always been very important to me. I have a son, Nick, and I share my life with my wife, Carol. I also come from a family of service, as both of my parents served in World War II, which is something I deeply respect.
I spent many years teaching high school business classes, about 39 years, and I was honored to be inducted into the Washington State High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame.
In my free time, I enjoy simple pleasures like coloring, painting, and of course, a good meal. I especially love ice cream. I also enjoy spending time walking around and being outdoors.
What I like most about living here is being able to get out, walk around, and enjoy the meals each day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBorn in Jamica, Queens NY, Karen spent her youth frolicking the streets. As a\nteen the family moved to Commack, NY. Karen and her friends volunteered at\nthe local CP Center every summer, as counselors to disabled children. Karens\u2019\nlove of helping others started to grow. As an older teen Karen became a\nCandy Striper for two years earning a 200-hour pin.\nAfter high school Karen entered Pilgrim State Hospital School of Nursing at the\nage of 17. Upon graduation, wanting to enter the military, she needed 2 years\nof work experience as an RN. This is where Karen met her future husband. In\n1979 Karen received a direct commission as a 2 LT in the Army Nurse Corp. It\nwas an exciting life.\nnd\nIn 1980 Karen and her husband Tom married and in 1982 their son Robert\nwas born. Juggling family life and military had its challenges.\nIn 1991, Karen left the Army and returned to school to obtain a master\u2019s\ndegree as a Nurse Practitioner. Again, civil service called her, and she became\nan NP in a jail medical unit in Riverhead, NY. Karen found another exciting\ncareer.\nUpon retirement Karen and her family moved to Florida. Wanting to be\ncreative Karen learned to play the viola. She joined the local community\norchestra where she played for 20 years. Having strong organizational skills,\nshe joined the board of directors and served in many positions.\nLife being what it is, her husband passed in 2009. Her son Robert decided he\nwanted a change in location, so off to Greenville they went in 2023. Karen\nwanted to be part of a community. After a search, she chose Legacy Reserve.\nBeing one to jump into activities, she is active in crafts, local trips and the\nVeteran\u2019s group. You see Karen and her dog Emily in the halls talking to\neveryone. Karen is so glad she chose Legacy Reserve. She feels at home,\namong friends.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
