I was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1945, worked as aircraft mechanic for 35 years and moved to Florida from Brooklyn in 2003. My wife and I will celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary this year. Our only son is 41, married and has one daughter, plus his wife has three children from a previous marriage.

I am a political junkie. I fear that both the "net" and TV have ruined our political system with their dedication to the lowest common denominator. I also fear the hate-mongers who spew e-mails filled with hate, lies and distortions, because I know how little research the recipients of the e-mails do. Worst of all are the book peddlers who write lies and then go on national TV to sell their books.
