Personal Biography
I had a lemon-aid stand in front of my Grandparents house at 260 Short Hills Avenue, Springfield, NJ when I was about 10. I did that off and on again doing a pretty good business in the summer when people where walking home from the Lackawanna Station in Short Hills but my first real job was setting up banquet tables at the Holiday Inn in Parsippany NJ when I was 15. I had the job about six months.

I remember watching President Eisenhower's farewell speech on TV sitting in my father's lap. I definitely remember President Kennedy's inauguration speech sitting in my father's lap. I would have been about five in both cases.

Insofar as people I have met in my lifetime I would have to say late father in-law. I would say he was steadfast in the face of adversity and did not panic under fire, to say the least.

Open mindedness, clarity of thought, genuine respect for the muddy processes of democracy.

I would like a Mentally & physically healthy community.
