Sondra loved many things, including boating, hiking, reading, playing games (she always won), spending time with family and friends, and travelling. She especially enjoyed sharing tales from her many travelling adventures to a variety of places including state and national parks, Europe, and China. Through the years, Walt and Sondra enjoyed camping with the Jolly Sams Camping Club and dancing with their ballroom dance and square-dancing friends. Sondra had been an avid Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy watcher for decades and recently added The Amazing Race to her must watch list.
