Interest's? I have many interest's. I've always been curious about what makes things work. I'm a retired electronic's engineer and always loved working around radio and television, including building the circuitry that makes it all work. My specialty was always satellite communications and microwave point-to-point relay's.
I hold a general class amateur radio license and still tinker with audio and video projects. I learned most of my electronics skills in college, but was able to apply most of what I learned through amateur radio. I know radio and television from the inside out...literally.
Music
Music? Now your talking my language! I grew up in Detroit during the 60's and 70's and played guitar for numerous "garage bands" and met my share of talented people over the years. Some of the most talented musicians in the Detroit area are just now coming out and getting noticed. I have some projects set up with some of the area's best talent in the near future. A couple of friends I want to mention are Tasha Valdez formerly with Jiva and Fall Prey, and Tony DeNardo from the Muggs. Watch for news of a "special project" I have in the works this spring.
Movies
The Band, The Last Waltz. My all time favorite movie.
Television
I prefer PBS to commercial tv and encourage everyone to support them. I first saw the Muggs featured on PBS last winter in a documentary about the band. My good friend Tony DeNardo plays Bass for the Muggs and has an amazing story about overcoming disability to follow his musical ambitions. Show's like Austin City Limits features some really good singer/songwriters.
Books
I have several poetry anthology's published, the most recent one is nearly sold out, so get your copie's while you can. Visit http://www.fibrohugs.com and visit the Hugs eBay page to get your copy while they last. The last few copies can be found here: http://www.fibrohugs.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20061014143513898
Heroes
Heroe's? My heroe's are people that inspire me, and I'm blessed with a lot of those. People that overcome hardship and adversity to follow their dreams and goal's. I hope I never run out of friends like this. They keep me going.

About me: FMS Global News began early one morning in May of 2006 while Ken Euteneier, a close friend and webmaster of fibrohugs, located in Regina, Saskatchewan, and I were discussing ways to promote fibromyalgia awareness over our morning coffee.
At the time, there was very little in the way of reliable news regarding fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), so Ken and I decided to become an online news agency. About 9 months later the news blog, http://fmsglobalnews.wordpress.com was added, and became the worlds first "global" source of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome news available world wide and in any number of languages. Months later we were joined by Jeanne Hambleton, a journalist from the UK, and we began bringing news and articles from around the world about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Jeanne's unique style of writing and the wealth of data we were able to introduce to the web, became our signature trademark.
We began adding RSS feeds to a number of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue sites, becoming the "source" of news for a number of web sites. FMS Global News Google Groups began this feed service and we were soon up and running with a number of web sites picking up the feed and a number of subscribers receiving their news by e-mail. We have some really awesome plans for 2008 and you won't want to miss any of this, so keep reading and we'll drop you a few hint's about what's coming up next.
