I had never heard of The Villages but had started considering moving to a 55 and over community. I usually read books about a topic as a first step when investigating anything. I read "Early Bird" by Rodney Rothman and then "Leisureville"; the latter convinced me to visit TV.

I have the best daughter in the world.

I was fired from my job by President Reagan.

Were you an air traffic controller?

I've met a lot of famous people, none of whom would remember me, but my favorite experience was a picture taken with Dean Smith. I had it framed on my office wall. People would come in and asked if that was my father, or who is that distinguished man with you, and ocassionally.....how do you know Dean Smith??? That was the best!

There was a local kids afternoon TV show the Hartford, CT market called Ranger Andy in the mid 60's. At 12 years old was the astronomer guest on a regular basis, presenting various subjects such as red spot of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and solar flares. One of my goals in TV is to re-kindle my interest in astronomy...as soon as we settle in.

My best friend, is the real life Felix Ungar.

His wife was washing a pot out and he said, "you call that clean". He then went to the sink and scrubbed the pot so hard, you could see through it.

You can have a meal on any of his floors and you won't get sick.

BTW - That makes me Oscar Madison by comparison. :D

I live in a lightkeeper's house that was built in the mid-1800's; before that I lived on a boat. I also lived in Morocco for awhile and for a very brief period of time was married to a man whose real name was Robin Arthur Hood.

I was on a boat that went to both the Arctic Circle and Antarctica.

The New York Mets won their first World Series on my 18th Birthday.

Around 1988 , I had dinner in Buffalo , NY with the then USSR " Commissar of Sports and Culture " and his Interpreter also from the USSR . [ Long story how it came to be ] .
About 10 days later an FBI Agent appeared at my office door . He had black and white glossy photos of me having dinner with these two guys .
Turned out the " Interpreter " was actually a very senior KGB Officer . The FBI could not figure out how the KGB guy got into the US . I related to the FBI Agent that the Commissar told me that the two had been " college buddies " and he brought his friend along to give him a vacation from his family !
