They are both retired and live in Toms River, N.J. with their 2 cats. Carl's heritage is British and his interests are writing children's stories and songwriting.

"Carl's current project is exploring ways to lift up the term 'Remembrance Gratitude' as something we can point to that we all have profoundly in common. In his effort to rethink remembrance, he has offered a new visual image for remembrance, 'Love can build a bridge of memory,' and a new metaphor for Memorial Day and Remembrance Day, 'Love's Loudest Whisper'."
