Harv is in his 63rd year, physically and mentally fit, relatively independent financially, and has relocated in the sub tropics of Florida, thus available and interested in pursuing the possibility of being a dance companion (gentleman host) on a cruise ship. His interest in cruise ship dancing goes back at least ten years, specifically when the occupation was featured by a prime time television news magazine. In more recent years he even collected application forms but was never in a position to easily arrange the geographics. But now, Florida resident status is a reality.DocHarvOtto@netscape.net 407-370-2871 c/o Chris Otto 10842 William and Mary Court, Orlando FL 32821 Web sites provide references - members.spree.com/lifestyles/DocHarvOtto - members.spree.com/family/otto_family.
Harv loves people and likes to dance socially. He is educated and has had full careers in industry and college teaching (retiring at age 51), and community service activities were wide ranging. In short, he can converse with just about everyone, specifically linking to some personal experience. Sociable dance specifics are (1) past President of Parents Without Partners where he danced with all the ladies, (2) participated in many beginning dance lessons for the enjoyment of being associated with learning, (3) knows how to lead even the beginning non dancing person, (4) dances to the many counts of 2, 3, 4, and 5, and can enjoyably dance a 1-2 while conversing, disregarding the music beat if the partner warrents, and they feel like they're dancing as he leads them through 1-2 turns for example, (5) his nickname has been Happy Harv since his teen years, (6) he was married 21 years and has been single for the last 17 years, side stepping many advances by the ladies, and (7) he can interface patiently yet assertively with a smile in difficult situations.
He acquired a tux for Old English dancing but lost that endeavor when moving from the east coast. Yet he maintaines a tux for special occasions - weddings, hospital balls, charity casino nights, etc. Also, Harv has danced at the Plus level of square dancing but is no longer active.
His pre retirement life phase began at age 51 and included being a contractual live-in companion for a gentleman who had recently lost his wife, and then for a wheel chair bound lady, getting her out of the house most days, among other companion instances, including asking people to dance from the first dance to the last. These last several years of pre retirement have been family oriented, traveling between his three children, one grandchild, and the grandchild's great grandmother.
He travels well. For example, he was in Florida for the holidays, went to Ohio to assist his daughter in moving from Ohio to California (drove the moving truck towing his car), spent February in California, then drove from California to Florida in March doing some bicycling on the way, and in May he will visit his mother at her Milwaukee Wisconsin retirement home for several weeks. His careers have taken him to live in many states - Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Delaware, Kansas, and Missouri. Job duties added extended visits to Arizona, Texas, New York, Florida, and Iowa. Family vacations toured North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Indiana, and Florida. And in his diversity, he still maintains a set of winter hiking clothes just in case. In the 1990s he has traveled in Europe and he has a passport.
