Guess it's my turn in the barrel. I'm 51 years old, married to my wife,
Linda (also 51, but don't tell her I told you!), for 29 years. First and
only! Two sons, David (24) and Scott (21) - good GOD! David's working with a
design firm in Florida (be nice if you run into him, Carl Musson), Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from Syracuse University a couple of
years ago. Scott's currently attending the University of Maryland. My wife's
the Executive Director of an Arts advocacy group here in Connecticut.
I work in the Telecommunications Department for a large insurance company.
Don't know the first thing about insurance (except I have some). Mostly
involved with voice communications - networks and 800 service. Used to
design phone systems for our offices, voice mail and ACDs (you know, those
wonderful machines that say, "all of us are WAY too busy to talk to you
right now, but if you'll wait 10 or 15 minutes, we'll get around to you when
we're ready."?). Been in the business, in one form or another, forever.
Started in Charlotte, NC, transferred to CT ages ago - talk about culture
shock?! (Note to John Rossi - do NOT try this; NO BBQ!)
Interests include woodworking and occasionally bicycling, football and
basketball (watching, not playing!). Now that I have finally found my TR3A,
after a year-long search...as many of you will surely remember 8^)... there
seems to be little room for ANY other interests! At least my wife knows
where to find me...can you say "garage", boys and girls?
My first car was a 1961 TR3A. Bought it in 1966 and, unfortunately, sold it
in '78. Sure wish I still had that OVERDRIVE!! Took me a while, but I
finally got the bug again. Seems like it was easier to own a TR in the 60's,
don't you think? Actually, parts are easier to get today...but they needed
FEWER of them then! 8^)
Been on the List for about a year and have really enjoyed "meeting" all of
you. Don't know how I'd manage without this shoulder to cry on. It's been a
real pleasure meeting those of you I have met in person. What a great bunch!
Well, enough about me and mine. Who's next?
