How it started.

At six years old I was not only taking pianos and music lessons after school, but also going to art and science classes on Saturdays and summers at the local Natural History museum. WOW - six days of school followed by church on Sunday morning as a choir member.

I hated it.

But years later as a young man, the dedicated hours forced to be involved in activities instead of flittering away Saturdays and Summers playing in the streets paid off.

Thanks Mom & Dad!
