English is my fifth language. Now I speak one and a half (but understand more than I let on).

I started a Charitable activity in Buffalo NY about 25 years ago .
It was in cooperation with the local arm of The Salvation Army and called " The Gift of Warmth ".

I was working for a Bank at the time . We collected winter hats , gloves ,mittens and scarves for needy children . As the Bank I worked for expanded rapidly , I introduced the program into each of our new markets .

Eventually we expanded into Baltimore and the wife of the owner of the Ravens became involved so much so that today it has become a part of " NFL Charities ".

At one home game each year in cold weather NFL cities the Team collects kids mittens etc from the fans on their way into the stadium .

Ok I do not like to talk about my self, but somebody has to do it.... when I was in middle school I was on stage at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York as an extra with Jerome Hines. It was an Easter Special and I was privileged. My sister was an former opera singer and she got me the extra part. In will never forget it.

When I was in my 20's, I won first prize at a professional dance competition in New York for the Fox Trot in the Novice category and second prize for Swing dance, also novice category, but so exciting.
