Today, Dick and Fran still live in Philadelphia but spend as much time as possible at their home in Bonita Springs.  In fact, Bob and Beth O'Brien recently played in a golf tournament with Fran and Dick as well as Gail and Gordon Brewer at Bonita Bay Country Club in south Florida!  The picture to the right is Fran Gozon sailing the Caribbean in 1993.
