Intrest: How many in 30 years? I've had rides in piston planes and jets since I was 5 at Dunstable Downs England in a Tiger Moth. Even had rides in a Taylorcraft Austor at Peshawar Pakistan. My father earned his Silver C from the glider club at Dunstable Downs. Betcha Flossy has been to the cliffs and seen the chalk figures.
My father was a private pilot. He was a non-com Russian linguist during the cold war. He became a private pilot, instructor, Commercial pilot, commercial instructor, multi engin prop, multi jet and so forth. He wanted me to be a pilot so beg barrowed or whateverd me rides and walk arounds in almost everything. We didnt get along in the cocpit, so he could never train me to my solo.
I used to fish alot, rock climbing from bouldering to lead on walls. Studied and taught Tenshin ryu Kenjutsu. Supported myself during this as a sayashi and tsukamakishi. Ever wondered who made the handels and scabbards for katana? Worked as an iron worker, carpenter, locksmith, and bodygaurd. Used to be an amature level in-line skate marathoner. 5 wheel skates with low cut leather boots. 27 mile races being the shortest. 100 mile being mid and I did the San Francisco to L.A. marathon in 96. Took 3 days. I like to renovate ww2 battle rifles, reload and shoot them. I also like reloading shooting my match grade M1A1 and Gerand. My M1A1 is built to Military tactical specs with milspec scope and mount. All modifications of a standard Springfeild National Match rifle. I have to give credit though to my marine freind who walked me through the modifications from what he did while active duty. Oh yes and gardening and feeding my wild birds so I can watch them in the morning. They are superior entertainment to television.
Family: Parents both retired from NSA and live in Maryland. Sister with 3 kids and 3 grand kids.
Education: UMES, UofM, Heald Technical.
Bad habbits: All the standard because I'm human.
Good habbits: I don't lie to myself about my bad habits.
Worst injury: Rabes, had to go through the 21 shots in the gut Pasture series. Face ripped apart by a 100lb dog when I was 8. Broken wrist from fall into a 6ft deep hole. Shot with an arrow in the leg. Broken ribs twice. Broken shoulder joint from a high speed fall onto pavement. Cut in the head by a katana and a meat cleaver, may years apart for both. Smacked with a frieing pan and a baseball bat. Several concussions and temporary loss of personal knowlege.
Stupidest injury: Every last one of em.
Ambitions: Retire to a farm in Maine.
Regrets: Too late for such.

Personal quotes: One of my racing team members who was bleeding out her lung at mile 71 when I crashed into a curb, we had just climbed the 8 miles of switchbacks up the front of Kings Mt. and slalomed the 12 miles down the back heading to Santa Cruz on Hwy101. : So! You hurt, you just like kinky sex with asphalt, or you gonna get your busted butt up and we finish this race?<---what do you say to a 5'1" 105lb woman when you are 6ft 200lb and she has a lung bleed???? I got my busted butt up and finished the last 30 miles with her.
