Conflict Resolution:

I have been interested in Conflict Resolution from a behavioral 
perspective for a number of years.  I've also enjoyed the sport of
Boxing.  In 1997 I pursued my interests in both these areas by 
achieving certification in arbitration and a license to judge 
professional boxing events in Ohio. In 2000 I completed the circle
through training in General and Divorce Mediation.

           We got our first Newfoundland in 1971 and have had five more 
           since then. Our last newfy was Dockmaster's Wally Balloo, 
           a wonderful and affectionate companion.  At 140lbs Wally was 
           the smallest newfy we've owned.  Having a Newfoundland is like
           having a Bear-skin rug that can move itself to any room in 
           the house.

           Wally passed away on June 9th,1999. We cherish the memories.

           Our latest newfy is Ch. Pouch Cove's Wild About Harry.  Harry is 
           shown below at 12 weeks of age.  He was born on October 8, 2000.

        Harry is now (November, 2004) a petite 150 lbs and still growing.
            
     Vespa Motor Scooters

     


       I always wanted a motor scooter.  As a child I cut out the catalog 
       picture of the Sears Allstate Cruisaire (a Vespa) and pinned it to
       my wall.  I finally got my first one in 1962 when I started graduate 
       school in Florida.  It was old, had no front brakes, and a constant 
       oil leak onto the rear brake.  Somehow I survived. I now ride a 1981
       Vespa P200E.

       Recently,with a group of older riders, I formed the OBSC (Old Bastards 
       Scooter Club - for those who could have bought a vintage scooter when 
       they were new. We have over 40 members.

       


     Corvairs 

       My first new car was a 1965 Corvair 500 Coupe equipped with a 
       110 hp engine and 4-speed transmission.  Great car.  Unfortunately
       it was not a good family car, and we traded it for a 1968 VW 
       Microbus.  My interest in Corvairs has never ceased and I currently
       own a beautiful red 1966 Corsa convertible, a very nice 1966 Maroon 
       Monza sedan and a 1968 Corvair powered motorhome.

      In July, 2007 we sold our Corvair Motorhome and replaced it with a 1996 Safari Diesel Pusher.

       
      Watercolors

       During the summer of 1995 I decided to try my hand at Watercolor
       painting.  I've always enjoyed art as a spectator sport, never as
       a player.  During a trip to Ontario, far from anyone who might 
       recognize me, I set up my paints and gave it a try.  Andy Warhol 
       suggested that we all will have our 15 minutes of fame.  I'm not
       sure about that, but the Web ensures that we all can have our 
       15Mbytes of exposure.
