I have a lot of other interests, but no time to  attentd to them (or in the case of fishing, it is too cold right now.)  Here are a few links to start.

I helped to found the The Carp Anglers Group in 1994.  It is the premier carp fishing group in North America and it strives to make the carp a more recognizable sports fish.  Try it, you will like it.

Vik Schreckengost .  You may not know him by name, but I bet you have use a product that he designed.  He was awarded the National Medal of the Arts by President and Mrs. Bush in 2008.  He has been a  friend of my parents for at least 65 of those years.  He designed numerous bicycles, the cab-over truck, and the famous Jazz Bowl.

Vik died this year (2008) at age 100 and we all miss him. 

My hobby-to-be when I retire is woodworking.  So far I have managed to keep all of my digits but I am working on that.


Bluegrass music has been a passion of mine for 47 years ever since I first saw Flatt and Scruggs on TV as a teen in Franklin, TN.  More on that later.
