One of the hobbies I have played with for a few years now is Photography.  I take hundreds of shots hoping to find the magic one.  I have about 30,000 picture files on an external hard drive. I never throw-away a picture. Most of my pics are now sporting events here in Big Bear.  Haley, Ryan…

Entry 7 And now for a short musical interlude: When Patton’s army did all they could, they started sending GI’s home.  My Dad hitched a ride on the QE ll along with hundreds of other returning vets.  While somewhere between Europe and the US, he received a telegram.  Decades later when he began messing around…

As a public service:  How to escape from a trunk

Entry 6 Carl Rossbach did not have a problem finding a job in a city close to Detroit.  He didn’t want to be too close to the big city with all of it’s people and hustle/bustle.  He finds a job at Hoover Ball and Bearing close to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  He…
