| Introduction | On July 7th, 1914, I was born in NYC. On March 24th, 1917, my wife Lenore, a Nurse, was born in Milwaukee. After we were married in 1940, we sowed a fair number of seeds. Our offspring are doing likewise. I entered World War II from my medical residency at Kings County Hospital and spent more than three years in the European Theater of Operations as the Medical Officer for a Battalion of Aviation Engineers. Upon my return home, after a few years of general medical practice and three years as a psychiatric resident, I became Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology. I rose to Clinical Directorships at several institutions and specialized in Adolescent Psychiatry. Meanwhile, I built and rigged my own sailboat, Ark Angel, and together with family and friends did some serious ocean racing. In 1984 we moved to Somers. We have many good friends here and although we are aging and eroding, we remain active in crosswords, computing, blogging and Sudoku. Peruse what we have here and don't hesitate to comment ~ To see my picture enlarged, click "View my complete profile" and then click on the picture displayed - I'm on my saiboat, enroute to Bermuda ~ Ciao |

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying "poop deck"?
Because I remember that the "head" in a privateer is usually located in the vessel's prow (for understandable reasons)
