I'm a K-12 educator in Michigan with no formal computer training other than a
semester of FORTRAN in the early 60's (actually it was mostly keypuch
experience as I remember).  I put together a Heathkit
 H-8 in 1978, moved to an Apple IIe and recently acquired a PC clone.

I teach LOGO and Basic to middle school students.  I've been dabbling in Forth
for a couple of years and intend to get serious about learning it real-soon-
now; I'm intrigued by its elegance and simplicity.  I've worked up some
programs (in LOGO) that allow severely physically handicapped students to draw
graphics and control appliances with a chin switch and would like to try some
of this stuff with Forth eventually.

Other interests include raising kids, ham radio (WB8BHP/qrp), beekeeking,
bicycling, clarinet and bass fishing. My favorite philosopher is Woody Allen.
