About Me

Grew up, and up, and up In Torrance Ca then a nice quiet, clean suburb of Los Angeles. Graduated in 1973 while working at Shakeys Pizza where I met some very memorable people. Moved up north to Berkely California (AKA Bezerkely) in April 1975, returned to L.A. Area April 1976 (Missed the Dodgers). Went back to work at Shakeys Pizza, met a new group of very interesting co-workers including "Mike Fekete" who ha spaces-out here on My Space. He is my oldest friend(in Duration), poor guy. We have been thru a lot together over the years. He is Married and lives in Redondo Beach with a truly wonderful wife. He is one lucky Family Man. I worked with Mike's Dad (Also a great guy) for L.A. County for 2 years, and worked part time at Shakeys. Since Febuary 28th 1978 I have been working in the Auto Parts Industry... where I also have met some very intersting people, including Octavio Calvillo who also spaces out here on My Space. He is a flirting Cassanova on the outside, buT a hard working, devoted family man on the inside. He literally saved my life in September of 2006... so when I torment him and he starts to get upset I point out that it is actually all his fault, that I would not be alive right now if it wasn't for him. He is a Yankee fan though, but I can overlook that. Never nbeen married, came close twice, but things didn't work out. So, you take the hand that life deals you and you move on. Sometimes I regret never getting married, then sometimes I think of the things I would have missed had I gotten married. mY mY mY.

My Interests

Dodgers Baseball, Baseball in General,Star Trek, Some Football, Music, Movies, Traveling, ASPCA, Good Food, Being with Friends, Soccer,Softball, Dogs.

I'd like to meet:

Vin Scully. The Greatest Baseball Play by Play man of all time. There are many fine Baseball announcers, but as good as they are, the pale in comparison to "Vinny". When you listen to Vinny on the radio, you can close your eyes and feel the breeze blowing over the field, smell the Dodger Hot-Dogs cooking, feel the excitement of the crowd. He really makes you feel like your there. His many experiences and anecdotes are like icing on the cake. I even remember Vinny Doing some Football Games Many years ago (I think for CBS). HE did a truly suburb job, I don't know how he saw all the action he did, with his amazing keen eyes he could tell you the angle and paths of every play. It was amazing. I know I would truly cry if I ever did meet Vinny. So many of us consider him part of the family, he has invited us all to "pull up a chair and sit a spell" because it was "Time For Dodger Baseball"
