- Mike and Denise -

Mike and Denise reside just outside Nashville, Tennessee. Mike is a native of Pittsburgh, PA and Denise is from Fredricksberg, VA. He has been a pilot at USAirways for 27 years and she has been in the mortgage business for the same amount of time. They love travel, especially Europe. Mike says he has been blessed to see so much of our beautiful country and the world while getting paid to do it. But they still can't wait to get away whenever they can. Mike loves the countryside and Denise likes to shop in the cities. Mike drinks beer - Denise likes wine. Mike loves Germany - Denise loves France. Their favorite hobby is spending time with Paris (not the city) - their four year old granddaughter. Mike says they have finally completed what they believe is the most authentic German Biergarten around (and it's in his backyard). They will have their second annual Oktoberfest this year (2005) and all Stammtisch members are encouraged to attend if in the area.
