I come from a fairly decent size family, 3 brothers, 2 sisters one sister deceased. My father died in 1989 and Mother in 1996 not long before I took her on a wonderful trip to Las Vegas. I loved both my parents and the only way I can think of describing them is, remember the show "All In The Family" that was them almost to a tee!  Thank God we all turned out pretty well! All my brothers and sister are pretty swell in their own way and I love them all. I should add another brother which is my wonderful sister's husband (Ralph) very talented guy. Their site is called "Turtle & Raven's Place" click HERE to visit them. When I was a kid I was always trying to go over to their house. We would all scheme and make up things so I could go over there and then we would eat and play games all night. Great fun and memories. (Love you both very much).

   I think a very good thing my parents taught me (fighting, pulling, and screaming) was about GOD. We had to go to Church every Sunday no matter what! I will always appreciate them for that because some of the things you see and hear about these days are really awful i.e. can't have a nativity scene for Christmas or if you talk about GOD in school you are approving Christianity. The Earth is not hanging from the north pole and spinning around in space on an energizer battery. It is not an accident we can live on this planet. There is a GOD!This all started when my ISP decided to offer high speed digital service in the area in the late 90's. With speeds up to 986kb a second, I was thrilled. In addition with my service, I get free space on their server for a personal home page. I had some experience with building websites. I began to do research and found the best program was WYSIWYG, (what you see is what you get). Basically you just drop and type stuff all over the page. Boy, was that a long time ago. I found its better to use a program that allows both WYSIWYG and HTML editing, (MS FrontPage is the BEST). Then I discovered Flash, sort of little movies using sound and making things move. Of course these files can get very large when you include sound. For a 56k connection its a little slow depending on how large of a sound file you use and the length of the clip. I mostly use HTML and other little add-in enhancements like DHTML, JavaScript, etc, which enhances your website. I still use Flash but try to stay clear of it. You can see some examples on the Flash Movie Page.

   The name of my old web site was "Living In Orlando", but now it is "GT Place" because of my move to Michigan.  My web site has changed too many times to count. I'm pretty happy with it now because it has a lot to view yet easy to make changes. Look for new pictures often because Santa brought me a GREAT digital camera.

   Since obtaining space for a web site I have been doing that, but I still take breaks to play an occasional computer game. I'm a news junky and like to keep abreast of current events. My favorite news channel is FNC. I will stay away from my political views cause we all have them, but I am a registered INDEPENDENT. I liked listening to (Z88.3) in Orlando Florida and now will have to catch them on the www also like XM32 "The Message".

I guess I am what you would say a "jack of all trades, but master of none".

I like to build or fix just about anything except TVs or Monitors, that was the worst shock I ever got.

I like jet skiing a lot. My first time was renting one in Tampa at John's Pass and boy was it a blast! I just love those things, I think it is the speed you feel going across the water and knowing if you fall off you won't do too much damage. I do know they can be very dangerous, but am somewhat careful. Watch out though, when I get on one of those, the throttle can't go high enough.
