Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
I have 4 great Kids and 6 grand kids. I am an engineer by training and somewhat by heredity. I've been lucky enough to have my work take me around the world a couple of times. I met Mike Cross in Saudi Arabia even though we were born about thirty miles from each other, and saw Buckwheat Zydeco in Brussels. I've met some great friends and pickers along the way especially at Kaufman Kamp and look forward to seeing friends old and new in the coming year.
