About Me	Born in Brooklyn but I never lived there. I'm a "Queens guy." High School in Far Rockaway NY, Prep School in Worcester Mass. College, Studied Political Science. history and sociology at Johns Hopkins University. In 1963, I got drafted. Despite a letter from an orthopedic surgeon (which he advised me with 15 cents would probably get me on the subway) I was inducted and, after basic training at Ft Dix NJ, I served two years in the US Army Alaska as a medic (Ft Richardson, near Anchorage). Became a Regular NYC Teacher in Williamsburgh, Bklyn...serious auto accident 6/69, ended my teaching career (by my choice) and I entered our family furniture business 1970.

' Now, Katie and I live in Tamarac, FL. I try to maintain a healthy organic and sometimes, raw food diet, and...I read...and I bike...and I walk and I'm on the Board of our HOA and on the Board of the Miami Veterans for Peace. ' The Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship of Boca Raton, which I belong to, has become a very pleasant and enlightening part of my life. I joined the chancel choir several years ago and singing for our magnificent choir director has been such a pleasure...Plus I have a great seat to listen to the very motivational and enlightening sermons of our wonderful pastor...She rocks! So...I think that life seems to be working out OK. You'll never hear me complain...'cause everything is gonna be whatever I want it to be. Nobody else. I'm happy...and I really care ...(read more)
