Steve Detty, email: sddetty@fairfieldi.com. Hi all, I have been living in the Amanda area for some ten years now. My wife Debbie and I designed and built our retirement home in the woods with all the critters. CW got too crowded for our liking, it has changed so much, for the worse I do believe. I have taken my disability retirement from AEP after 31 years and enjoying life as well as my health can hold up. We are empty nesters now with my two sons and two step daughters out on their own. I was so proud of the youngest son, Chad, who received the honor of making all-state Football, Division 5, back in 1998. He played middle linebacker and fullback at 6' 1" 230 lbs. but due to an off field injury he lost any and all scholarships that had been offered. He had some of his best games against CWHS, and I was razzed for that from my fellow class mates. Hoping everyone is in good health and May God Bless, Steve.
