Needless to say, she has a heart for the big city and all it has to
Bringing offer. Pasky, a neurologist at Raleigh Hospital, made his first U.S.
home in Rochester, Minnesota, conducting multiple sclerosis
the World research for three years. “I was at the Mayo Clinic in the winter
to West of 2014. As you can imagine, dating in the middle of winter in
Rochester presented a bit of a challenge,” he laughs. “I took to
Virginia online dating and, from the very first time I spoke with Calisha,
I knew she was the one.” The couple talked every day for one
year before they met in person in Miami. The southern sun and
romance provided the backdrop for yearly meetups until they
eloped in New Orleans three years later.
Before moving to Glade Springs, they spent two years in
Michigan together, while Pasky spent a total of four years
completing his neurology training at Michigan State University.
“When I started looking at jobs, we traveled a bit through the
Midwest,” says Pasky. “One day, I received a call from Dave
Shaffer at Raleigh General. I have to say that West Virginia was
not even on my list of possibilities, but I am so happy I took the
chance to come for a visit,” he says. On their drive back from
New Orleans to Michigan, they traveled through North Carolina
and passed through Beckley. The couple admits that there was
just something about the West Virginia mountains, the green
grass, and the rolling roads. “Driving into Glade gets me every
time,” says Pasky. “John Sinko did a great job selling Glade to
us. Add that to the wonderful people with whom I work and the
freedom to practice medicine in an environment that is hands-on,
the decision was easy.”
The Atangas have a rich extracurricular life in Glade Springs,
as they enjoy playing pickleball and golf. Pasky plays with the
“Grasshoppers,” and Calisha plays in the Best Ball group. She
also stays connected with fitness classes at Performance Fitness
and her weekly Mahjong group. This winter, they plan to take
up skiing, starting at Winterplace. “The classes and groups here
at Glade Springs have helped me stay sane and happy,” says
Calisha. “I really feel that I have found my roots here.” In Glade
Springs, Pasky has found the ideal setting to perfect his favorite
pastime -- flying drones as an FPV (first-person view) certified
pilot. “Flying drones gives you the feeling of flying like a bird at
90 miles per hour but a little more safely,” he laughs. He also
enjoys making decorative pieces for Calisha and masks with his

While 2020 has stifled travel plans for many, for one Glade

Their Lake Drive home sits high on an an acre and a half knoll
with back deck vistas of the golf course and front porch views of
their very own pond. “I purchased the home fully-furnished in
2005 from Tony and Joanne Kelly,” says Michael. Three years
later, he purchased the 2.6 acre lot across Lake Drive with the
pond. “I always thought Glade owned it, but later found out that
it was owed by Jon and Marla Sinko,” he says. “It’s a beautiful
amenity and also adds to the aesthetics of the community.” The
couple installed a fence and landscape lighting around the pond,
and this holiday season, Richard draped the fence with gar-
land and ribbon. Richard moved to Glade Springs in 2013 from
Houston, and is originally from South Carolina. Michael was

most popular suppressor, the Carbon 22, is for the 22-caliber and
is made from carbon fiber with a monolithic (made from a solid

of the 22 bullet, especially with subsonic (speed below the sound
barrier) ammunition. They also manufacture suppressors for
