I love working on Wikipedia articles and adding to its collection of knowledge. I find one glaring absence in Wikipedia, which is the LACK of Point of View and eyewitness accounts, which could greatly ADD to WIKIPEDIA if openly labeled as such in an article. How many people have BEEN THERE, and saw events occur, but don't have references or citations to back up their observations??

Married in 1990 to Vikky, with step-daughter Auriol. Vikky is from England, arriving in the US in 1989. She has a great sense of humor, and is talented in many areas.

Auriol has grown to be a wonderful young lady. She graduated from high school at 16 and attended the University of California, Riverside. She has a wonderful Alto singing voice and an interest in Theatre and acting. While attending UCR, she was a member of the world-famous Young Americans singing group for 4 years, touring America with the group. Graduating at 20 with a degree in Theatre, she substituted for 3 years, then decided to go to law school. Taking the LSAT, she received an almost full scholarship to Western State University College of Law.She graduated on May 17, 2008 Cum Laude in the top 14 of her class, and is expecting to take the California BAR exam in July.

Catherine (Katie) is a wonderful actress and singer (High Soprano), having had many lead and supporting roles in Musical theatre productions from the age of 5 through high school. Graduating high school at 15 as Valedictorian, she is attending the University of California, Los Angeles.
