Just go see the stats page for all the stuff you really don't need to know about me. :)

brother, Mike

My bro is one of my best friends. He'll be graduating from Indiana University in May 2000, with a degree in Secondary Special Education and a Computer Education endorsement. He plays the tenor saxophone in the IU Marching Hundred and Crabb Band. He spends his summers up on Pine Mountain, at Horton Center. (see church: state) He's been there since 4th or 5th grade--it's in his blood. He loves hiking, rock-climbing and canoeing, but has also done caving and hang- gliding. He has his amateur (ham) radio license, as does. the rest of the family. He's N1KZO.

mom, Kathe

My mom has been teaching for over 20 years. She started out in one of the Merrimack elementary schools and then changed to another local elementary school, both positions as a special ed teacher. After 15 years of that, she went back to school, to UNH and got her Ph.D. in Reading and Writing Instruction. Since receiving this degree, she has been Assistant Professor of Education at New England College in Henniker, NH (the only Henniker in the world!). However, as change is eminent in life, she will be leaving NEC after graduation this spring, and most likely taking a position as a teacher-trainer in another school...but it's not sure yet.
She also loves hiking and gardening. This year she followed through on one of her life-dreams: she started taking harp lessons. She has even purchased a new harp to replace her first one that she'd had for less than a year!! :) She's very happy with it. She is the director of the children's handbell choir and the young children's handchime choir at church, and she plays in the adult handbell choir. Her callsign is N1NYT.

dad, Al

My dad worked at Digital, but now he of course works at Compaq. He's a software engineer and all-around computer guru. All of my computer knowledge has come from him. He's famous for his "teaching moments", and really does them well...he's a fabulous teacher. I keep telling him that I'm waiting for him to go through his mid-life crisis and quite Compaq to become a teacher. :)
He is the webmaster for the New Hampshire Odyssey of the Mind (NHOM) website, and is also the scoring coordinator. He wrote the program that they use to do all the score calculations and turn all the scores into HTML automatically for quick uploading to the site. He is also active at the church, and sang in the senior (adult, not just senior citizens :) ) choir until this year. He enjoys rock-climbing like the rest of the family, and hiking with Kathe. He's actually the radio guru of the household, too. He's WA1TYB.
