Calaveras Humane Society Bids Farewell to President Seiler
Posted by: John_Hamilton on 06/25/2012 09:57 AM
San Andreas, Calif. – After serving his promised, one-year term as president of the Calaveras Humane Society, Bob Seiler is moving on and moving away. The 21-year Arnold resident recently sold his home as part of his family’s long-term, personal goals and will be moving to Placer County, Calif. “Our long range plan has been to downsize and move to a less remote area, now that we are retired and empty nesters,” said Seiler. “We decided to put our home on the market, thinking that it would take at least the summer to sell. We were shocked that it sold in just about a week and that we’ll be moving in early July.”...
