Introduction	By Grace, I'm a follower of Christ; by day, I'm a school administrator; by night (and always) I'm a husband and father (and now a grandfather); and by week's end, I usually find myself writing in this space. Feel free to join in the dialogue.

Favorite Movies	To Kill a Mockingbird. Avalon. Spencer's Mountain.(3 Gary Cooper Classics: High Noon.The Friendly Persuasion & Sergeant York), Films that reflect the consequences of character (e.g. The Elephant Man. Emma. Pride and Prejudice.The Emperor's Club and lots of others.
Favorite Music	A broad variety, from classical to the classic vocals of the crooners and Swing Era (and recent artists reviving that style). The soundtrack of my life would include Nat King Cole), The Carpenters, The Lettermen, Simon and Garfunkel, and selected Beatles hits, all interwoven in a fabric of time-tested hymns and meaningful choruses whose stanzas I will never forget.
Favorite Books	This will show itself as you read here... too many to list.
