Her wedding photo from 2004 Mr. E.
Little "For
the last 25 years I've been in Virginia. Never [had been] thinking of coming back to Ohio. But, sure enough never say never. I
spent the first part of my career working as a manager for Hyatt, Sheraton
and Omni Hotels. Three years ago
I started working for ClubCorp, a company that manages private clubs. So, when an opportunity came open
last year to manage the Food and Beverage side of Firestone Country Club, I
jumped on it. I
live in Fairlawn, Ohio with my wife Connie. Our daughter, Whitney is off to Virginia Tech in the
Fall. So, as empty nesters we'll
be visiting Vineyards in Napa in January and off-shore fishing in Mexico in
February. Then getting in a few
golf rounds before the season." (Info as of April 2005)
