“The Cooks are enthralled with all of the amenities offered by Sun City Festival...”

Digby retired from New York Life in 2009. He and his wife of 40 years, Karen, left Center Parking Lot 9 am
Anchorage, Alaska in their motor home to explore the Canadian provinces and the “lower
48” states. Their travels brought them to Phoenix to visit good friends who lived in Sun City
Grand. This visit and their friend’s strong encouragement to check out the Sun City way of
life led them eventually to take a look at Sun City Festival. Hours of Operation:
Monday through Friday
Digby was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. He graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1964 and
was soon transferred to New York City by his U. S. employer to continue his career in corporate finance. Karen, an

Oregon Duck and a fine arts graduate from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas accepted an invitation to Saturday and Sunday
dance with the Martha Graham Dance Company and arrived in Manhattan in 1969. They met the day she arrived
and married a year later in downtown Manhattan. The Cooks were then transferred to Minnesota and then on to 7:00 am – 10:00 pm
Brussels, Belgium where their two children were born. Their daughter lives in Anchorage with her husband and two
children, and their son and his Phoenix born wife and their two children just moved to Peoria, Arizona.
The Cooks are enthralled with all of the amenities Sun City Festival offers and look forward to increasing their
participation as the dust settles from the move and unpacking. They moved into their new house just three months
ago and are permanent residents. Digby much prefers shoveling sunshine to snow and they both are delighted with
everything that Sun City Festival provides to enhance their retirement. 7
