A Day of Remberance! Memorial Day! Holocaust!
To all of the men and women who have given their lives that we may continue to enjoy the freedom that we have in these United States. Let us take a moment out of our celebrating to remember who and why we celebrate.
And may we never forget the men and women who died in Vietnam -- a useless tragedy all it's own!

Veteran's Day - Memorial Day - Remembrance Day - Holocaust Remembrance
That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

May we never forget!
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
Remembrance Day
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Mark Twain
The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.
Thucydides

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
