Blair and Pauline built their home in Waterford in 1956 and after retirement maintained a home in Florida where they enjoyed spending the winters. Blair kept busy working and flying as well as maintaining 16 rental homes. He enjoyed playing the organ and harmonica and was infamous for his “story” telling.
