PERSONAL INTERESTS

My personal interests extend to a number of areas including music and audio systems, photography, both black and white and color, and horticulture, particularly roses. I have exhibited roses and won a number of awards. My photographs have also received several awards and several have been published. I have sung bass with a choral group that has released several record albums of original music. I also play guitar, electric bass, dulcimer and autoharp.
