Setting Sail: After life of hard work, this West Frankfort couple
begins a second on the sea
WEST FRANKFORT - The Turners are typical of Southern Illinois - a
no-frills, hard-working family that has lived to serve others first.
That's why their 26-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, was shocked when they
announced two years ago that they were selling off the land they had
spent a lifetime developing.
Instead of retiring quietly in West Frankfort, they planned to set
sail on a new life aboard a custom-made luxury catamaran.
"She thought at first we were going through a midlife crisis," says
mom Melody Turner, 53.

house, kitchen, bath and lounge - is the new symbol for a midlife
crisis, where do I sign up?
