About Me
Lasted through the first part of my final residence year at HQ before leaving via deprogramming. It was not the way to go. Okay, actually just before the deprogramming I was put on LOA. Married my Russian wife on April 27th 1985. Her family is one of the two "Siberian Seven" families, 7 members of which (including my now mother-in-law and one of my brothers-in-law) were in refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, USSR for 5 years, the ordeal starting near the end of my first residence year. We have 5 kids, one of which has been my stepdaughter since age 3 and who is now doing graduate studies at GW University in D.C. We have 2 special needs kids, one born with spina bifida and one autistic, always presenting a challenge especially since they are 21 and 18. Our youngest is a math whiz and in 2006 as an 8th grader represented our state at Mathcounts nationals in DC; getting to spend time with big sister during free time.
My Interests
WWII studies, sprouting from being the truest baby boomer as both my parents were in the Navy during the war. Have delved more specifically into the battle of the Bulge and the last days of the Japanese Empire, including the ploitical turmoil in Japan and the development of the atomic bomb.
Also baseball umpiring (see below), and there would be several other things which I just don't have time and/or money for.
Employment or Career
Weather forecasting, baseball umpiring
Music I Like
Movie themes (James Bond and others)
Popular oldies (especially from my early 70s stint as a campus radio DJ)
Books I Like
Sci fi classics (Jules Verne, George Orwell, etc)
Television I like
Like some other old farts, a lot of the old reruns.
Movies I like
Various. Like TV a tendency toward the old ones, but not nearly so much so. Star Wars/Mark Hamill buff. In fact, one of the most inspirational movies I have ever seen never made wide release after it was made several years ago, "Walking Across Egypt" starring ellen Burstyn, Jonothan Taylor Thomas, and mark Hamill.
Sports Teams I like
Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Penn state anything.

On the Main page in FORUM there is a long extended post called
"Do you Know Where ?? Is?" Pose your question there, man. I am sure somebody knows somebody who knows them or knows their whereabouts. Six degrees of separation. We knew (know) a lot of people when you think about it.
