Prior to that night in 1974 when my Father led us all to the back deck, I’d never seen a U.F.O. or gave little thought to “visitors” from above… I was 14 years old and we had recently moved (again), to Kittery, Maine. Our little house on Tilton avenue was a dead-end street with an…
I actually discovered the great game of golf after years of dribbling away my free time playing basketball. As a kid born in Upstate NY I loved the Knicks and later the Celtics led by the legendary Larry Bird. There was nothing like the wars on the hardwood waged between the Lakers, the Bulls or…

I’ve never been a big fan of birthdays, even if it’s celebrating the day our country was “born”.
