1.  Short shorts or long shorts?
I would not subject any of you to seeing me in short shorts.
2.  Did you attend a big high school or small?  How many were in your graduating class?
Big school for the day.  365 in my senior class.
3.  Did you play a sport in high school or college?
I considered it an afterschool activity.  I was the president of the Chess Team and actually organized the Long Island High School Chess League, as a junior in high school.
4.  All time favorite food either before or after WLS?
It would have to be New York style Pizza
5.  How did you meet your significant other if you have one?
We met at the post office on base in Madrid, Spain.  I was a mailman there and I got to play post office with Mary.
6.  Where did you grow up?
Copiague, NY (the town next to Amityville) on Long Island
7.  Do you like to dance?  Sing? Paint? Other?
No real talent outside of my charm, wit, and personality.
8.  Favorite book?
Anything by James Patterson.  His newest, Alex Cross' Trial is an excellent book.  Just wish he did not cheapen it by selling it using the Alex Cross character.  It was a great book on it's own merit.
9.  Sports car, SUV, truck or family sedan?
We have a VW Jetta, but I would really love to have a sports car some day.
10.  Are you going to the OH conference?  Who are you rooming with?
Yes I am going.  Rooming with Mary at home.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
