Hello...,
I've been writing for most of my life...not necessarily well, but trying. Broadcasting and radio journalism was the way I made my living...that and teaching. Prior to that I was a radio correspondent in the USMC....diddled at the piano and tried to be a good observer and participator. I hope to contribute a little here...both in show and tell. Please feel free to exchange ideas.
Looking forward. By the way...should anyone be interested I've got a web page.... It can be accessed by:
www.gaazerier.com (I hope!)
