I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. As a young boy did what all the other boys did, played punchball, stickball in the streets and schoolyards and some fastpitch softball. Had many happy days visiting New York City and seeing the sites, enjoying Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and on and on.

Graduated New Utrecht Highschool in 1949 and promptly moved to Miami, Florida, where I've lived ever since; marrried to my lovely wife for 43 years, without whose patience and understanding I couldn't have started this homepage.

As a result of our marriage, I have a loving daughter, Susan, married to Mike Butler, and a fantastic granddaughter, Kelly Butler, seven and a half years old who I love dearly.

Was a court reporter for a little over 30 years, and was forced to retire because of a severe back injury.

Had no clue what html was until April of '98, and with a lot of reading and great help from guys and gals from the alt.discuss.html newsgroup enabled me to get this far, with loads to learn.

Won't bore you anymore with hobbies, which are few, so that brings us up to date.
