About Me
I started this site in 2006 for fun and reconnection purposes ONLY. I gave up this site several years ago. Currently, I do not support of condone this site any longer and have nothing to do with its content, most of which I disagree with. Therefore, will rarely come here and have asked the moderators to delete me from their "all-mailing" lists.
My Interests
I am a self taught computer geek. I also enjoy real estate and stocks.
Employment or Career
I have been living in Tampa, FL since 1979. Like many of us back then, I started a window cleaning company to support myself. Over the years it grew into a company with over 60 employees and managers. I sold in 2006 to a large company and stayed on as Vice President for a while. In lieu of retirement I started another company called JR Services. I married Hope Harmon a 6th Corps alumnus, whom I love "with all my heart". We have two children.
Sports Teams I like
Tampa Bay Bucs Tampa Bay Lightening
Comments
I posted a tribute to my late sister-in-law, Phyllis, and I had hoped to include a slide show of photos along with one of her songs playing in the background. I couldn't, however, figure how to pull the whole thing off, and so the tribute didn't come out as I had planned. What do I need to do make it happen? Michael Kasiak has a place a version of Phyllis singing "I Don't Know About Tomorrow" on his Way Corps page, but I'm not sure if I it can be used on my page as well. Let me know what can be done, if anything.
A second point of interest that I think you might appreciate is that today is Dave Brubeck’s 90th birthday. Clint Eastwood, who is a jazz fan extraordinaire, has released a documentary focusing on Brubreck, and it is premiering today. I’m hoping to write an Examiner.com article about the event and to include comments regarding my appreciation for jazz, as reflected in some of my poetry. I’ll send you the link, once I post it. I chuckled when I pulled up your page, and what should be playing in the background but “Take Five.” As I scrolled down to make a comment, I noted your comments regarding the award Dave Brubeck received at the Kennedy Center. What an example he is of so many admirable qualities.
God bless.
Yup!, Nashville sounds good!
Thanks for making this site. I have already heard from several old friends. One of the emails you sent me referred to a video link. The words "Click here for the video" were not connected to a link. I looked elsewhere in the body of the email and couldn't locate one. I would enjoy learning more of the sites features.
OR...is the ACLU still monitoring this here Web site?, was another thought that had 'popped' into my head.
Another thing: Has Bailey ever become a citizen of the USA, does he have his 'green card', or is he still illegal? Just Askin'!
Sometimes you go thru life not really aware of the quality of the people you're around...BUT by their fruits you shall know them. That is true of you and in a very good way. From 'your tree' there has been borne some fine and faithful fruit for others to enjoy. And, your greeting and remembrance of my birthday is one more of many examples of your heart, thoughfulness and connectivity to others from the past. Blessings to you good friend!

Got one question for you. I'll email it to you.
Here I am with a couple of technical questions, some of which are related to the Way Corps site. In looking over the In Memoriam site for our Corps brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the Lord, I did not see my late sister-in-law, Phyllis (Warren) (Murdock, who died in 1990. I am working on a tribute to her, and I wanted to include some photos which I am collecting from my mother-in-law. She was a member of the 10th Corps and was involved with Way Productions, but I can’t recall the name of the musical group she was a part of. One of the songs that she sang was “I Don’t Know about Tomorrow.” I don’t have a copy of a recording that she sang, but I believe that Lisa Tracy has a version of the song which I would like to include. I hope to get the photos and copy of the tribute ready tomorrow which I’d like for you to look over.
My second question, oddly enough, also relates to Lisa Tracy. Mike just sent me a recording of Lisa singing “I’m Thankful”, one of my all-time favorite songs. Last year around this time, I published on my Examiner.com page my Top 10 Thanksgiving Songs—traditional and contemporary. This year I would like to include Lisa’s recording. She does not have a YouTube version that I could use, but I’m wondering how I might use the mp3 version that I have to come up with a YouTube with a photo or series of slides. How difficult is it to produce something like that? Here is the link to listing of songs so that you can see what I have in mind if I add Lisa’s song to my list.

Let me know what you think regarding both questions.
As always, I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much for your assistance.
