The picture at the upper right is of me at my original station in 1962.

I am a retired middle school language arts and special education teacher. I enjoy DXing, IOTA, and I especially enjoy the camaraderie with my friends on the air.

In 1988 and 1989, I had a wonderful experience living and teaching in beautiful Miyagi Prefecture in the Tohoku (northeastern) region of Japan's Honshu Island (IOTA AS-007). I was active as 7J7AAM (Kakuda City, JCC 0608), and my Japanese amateur radio friends, including Shin, JA7FFN, Ken, JA7ACM, Nob, JA7AYE, and Shin, JA1NUT, were very helpful, and I will never forget their kindness.
