Their favorite trip was the boat tour of the Hawaiian Islands. The Fells collect everything. Barbara had an antique booth at one time. For sure, with all their traveling adventures they found many treasures. We are delighted Marc and Barbara chose Kirby as their retirement home and look forward to meeting them. Give them a friendly hello and invite them to join you for an activity or a meal. Make them feel at home!
