My name is Prentiss Smith. I am married with four children and four grandchildren. I have worked for a large manufacturing company for the past thirty years. I have written political opinion columns for the past fifteen years. I love politics and sports. I particulary enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am currently preparing for retirement from my current job, which has been my vocation, rather than my avocation. I hope to do some of the things that I have wanted to always do---consult, travel, charity work.
