Just a whole bunch of pleasant memories of time well spent alone and with good friends. i) Biography I started paddling three years ago on inland rivers and lakes in Michigan, hence the open canoes. My employer asked me to spend three years in the Stockholm area, I am an engineer with Motorola's Automotive Group. It sounded like an adventure so I packed some stuff and moved. Prior to moving, home was south east Michigan. Current plans are to return to that area in two years.The waters here around Stockholm are full of sea kayaks, and not to many "canadians". So I, tried a few, bought a sea kajak and have started to play. I am a 42 year young :-) male. Single, no dependents. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Dear Peter and the rest of Paddlewise Regarding Who's Who, I will send in my data in a day or so when I have more time. Did you know that we (on paddlewise) did this before. In Feb 99, over 140 people sent in a similar response. I saved them. Would it be of any use to send them to you or would it be considered irresponsible of me to disclose this data?

Bill, Peter, and anyone else interested... I too have saved most of the original "Who We Are" postings from early in 1999, but as I looked at some of the postings I was struck by the thought that in the course of the ensuing year since the original postings many people's skill levels, experience, etc may have changed - sometimes to a large degree. Why not just send a request for another list-wide "Who We Are" type posting - that way everything stays current and accurate?

A "Who We Are" thread happened in rec.boats.paddle awhile back too. The results are all on: http://www.haze.demon.co.uk/rbp.html I imagine the before too long there will be a "Who we are" thread started on rec.boats.paddle.touring as well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

Thanks for the support. The Personal stuff is the most interesting anyway!! Boy, you certainly are some lady!!! You seem to have been there and done that all over the place. The "package" will be complete when we have photos to go with the narrative. Will this be an option, Peter?

Regarding the personal info, I'm not sure it's a good idea to post telephone numbers and addresses in so public a place as the world wide web. That info could be obtained via private email.

I've been thinking about this and agree with Jackie. I have noticed that over a period of time that if someone is "profiling"(likely misspelled)that this list sure would be easy to tag some of the users. Over a period of time, someone can sure put together alot of information on someone, just by paying attention here. Some of you might not want that information in the wrong hands. Case in point, with out mentioning names. Address, phone #, where you work, what you drive, sex, age, martial status, type of car, how many and what kind of kayaks, and when you are going to be gone and how long, along with where. Need I go on? I only mention this because Jackie brought it up and being a HAM, I know that people get on the repeaters and do the same thing we do here, chat. Sometimes too much is passed on to _ALL_ to hear and every-once-in-awhile someone will get robbed or molested because of someone with a scanner had heard too much. Same thing can happen here. Not by the friendly family of PW'izers, but..., there are others out there.

Fitness and having my arm twisted to sell contracts. g) Strong opinions - I have strong opinions on almost everything. Ask me about something. :-) h) Most interesting kayak trip - not anything terribly exciting yet, most interesting were watching otters off of the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and travelling Elkhorn Slough.

College yielded a BA in Biology from Harvard College. Worked in Medical Research in the Path. Dept. of Mass. General Hospital in Boston for 3 years. I studied Uechi-ryu Okinawan Karate there. Then I worked in the same field at NASA, Moffett Field for a year. While there I fell into an Aikido Class which was all San Jose Police Officers. In Dec. 1963 I went to work for SJPD and retired from there in Jan. 1994. While at the PD I worked lots things, Motors for 4 years as an officer and, later, 10 years as a Sgt., supervised records, worked in Communications, did the system design for our first automated dispatch system, taught M/C officers how to ride for 5 years, acted as the Computer Crimes unit for 3 years, and ended my time at the PD in Court Liaison running a network of 15 macs and writing databases in FileMaker Pro. During this time I was dive activities chairman for the Bay Area Sierra Club Dive section for two years, and taught M/C riding for MSF for about 5 years. I owned the above mentioned Royaks for about 12 years, and still own a 600 Kawasaki Ninja M/C which I am going to sell, soon. We drive my red Honda Del Sol and the kayak transporter, a white Plymouth Voyager. Today I got hooked up with PacBell DSL and set up IPNetRouter so my wife and I can both use it at once.
