Got a lot of time on your hands for the world's largest collection of Wallis trivia?

The movie "CONTACT" gave me the startling thought that from my radio and television appearances, dating back to the mid fifties, that I am also out THERE some fifty LIGHT YEARS in all directions!  A few hours of immortality assured!

I've included links so that the younger readers will know who I am talking about!   Not finished yet!
SPECIAL MENTION!!! The greatest cast ever assembled was for Bravo Boardwalk Bravo, a Tibor Rudas Production, the first Resorts International show in Atlantic City! I have never worked with such a wonderful group of people! For most, it was their first show, so no one brought any "baggage" with them. I will always treasure the memories of how extremely nice and thoughtful that group was! The techs, the dancers, the stage hands, seamstresses and all of the cast and crew were truly special! Also a lot of special folks in "Hooray '76" and "Solid Gold" at the Flamingo as well as the many shows in the Bahamas and AC, but perhaps because of the "innocence" factor, the BBB group was almost perfect! Thanks to any of those groups that may stumble onto this site! I hope life has been good to you! And the same good wishes to the cast of "The Roaring Twenties" in St. Louis those many, many years ago! jw

    HOBBIES, INTERESTS, LIKES, DISLIKES, MY FAMILY MORE:

    Have been sidelined with a bad hip, but hope to resume my hobbies soon! SCUBA Advanced Open Water Diver, TARGET SHOOTING with Rifles and Pistols, but not hunting.   PHOTOGRAPHY, SWIMMING, and combining the two with SCUBA.  Most MUSIC, Especially Baroque and Meat Loaf!  

    DVD's and MOVIES. I loved the old Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes and Thin Man series, as well as the Science Fiction classics and musicals. I have dozens of the old Laser Disc format movies that I still watch.

    Now my favorites are the GRANADA Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett and the short lived series, NERO WOLFE series with Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin. A&E dropped the show to do "REALITY" TV, and I've not watched A&E since. Now I find that A&E cut scenes for commercials and didn't restorte them for the DVD's! BUMMER! 

    SPORTS on TV.  Go BRONCOS!  Go SOONERS! SCIENCE FICTION! I have quite a collection of Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury and other pioneers.  And of course, COMPUTERS!

    READING: Favorite non SF authors are Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, John Saul, Dean Koonz, and I loved the OZ books. I have quite a few over 50 years old. Note that the link has all of the OZ books for you to read as they are now public domain!
