As a family, we enjoy hosting foreign exchange students. This is a wonderful opportunity for us and a great experience for our students. We get to share our culture with them while they expose us to theirs.

The Elliott guys are into restoring 60's vintage cars. Right now they are working on a 1967 Chevrolet Impala. It's starting to look pretty good!

As for myself, I am a graphic artist for a commercial print shop. I write and sell via mail order, genealogically related manuscripts and histories. I also publish newsletters, "how to" and self improvement works. Often I speak to large audiences on how to get into self publishing.

In my spare time I design and create period costumes, theatre costumes, and yes, Halloween costumes for the kids in the neighborhood.

I have great plans for this site, and hope that the Fortunecity community will support me by offering suggestions to make it a more interesting place.
