As former president and current board member of Downtown Alliance, Hank is reaping the benefits of a thriving downtown he helped to sow. "When Hank was still practicing, he'd have a few meetings each year and we'd go to places like San Francisco. I always hit the downtown area to see the city. You don't go to the shopping malls to get the feel of a place. You go down- town," Diane said. Aer a week in the lo, they had ad- justed to the sounds of downtown, in- cluding the trains. Now they don't even notice them. "It's just like anywhere else," Diane said. "e sights and sounds are just part of the ambiance." ere is also a strong sense of com- munity downtown that they both enjoy. e guest lists for their dinner parties have gotten smaller, but that's an ad- justment they don't seem to mind at all. Instead of hosting forty people at a time, the couple relishes the more inti- mate gatherings of ten friends at a time. "We did have Christmas here. We managed the tree, the grandkids and their dog, and it worked out just fine. It actually reminded me of when I was growing up. You slept on the couches, on the floor—anything to just be with family." eir first apartment as a married couple was in Baltimore, Maryland. It wasn't a garden apartment, so there was no outdoor space. ey did, however, have a Volkswagen and a small hibachi grill that turned the parking lot into a makeshi cook out. Recently, Hank bought a George Foreman grill for Di- ane's birthday and they had their first steaks on it. "I guess we really have come full cir- cle," Hank said. Perched beside him on the couch that made the cut from the old house to this new space, Diane laughs and gives him a wide-eyed look that makes it clear their latest adventure is nowhere near their last.
