I have a loving wife Rosemary, a
6 1/2 yr old son Arthur, and our latest addition, our newborn Eric. (yes, I have a newborn at 50!!) Eric was born on October 22, 2003. I ride with the Blue Knights NYX on
my '91 Harley Police Special (I'm not a
buff, I just like the bike) or my '82
Yamaha Virago 750 (riceburner) Other times you may find
me at the track where I am an expert
handicapper who often loses his shirt.
I may be in the Blue Knight chat room
found on their homepage on my links
below. Also, since I've always been a
train buff (esp. subways & LIRR) I am
frequently at the SUBTALK forum at
nycsubwa
y.org

My Loves and
interests
Please sign my guestbook:
Me and Arthur
sometimes take the train to NYC to bum
around. We take the Long Island Rail
Road to the city and spend the whole day
riding subways to the Empire State Bldg,
The Staten Island Ferry, FAO Schwartz,
the Central Pk and Bronx Zoos, the
American Museum of Natural History, the
Coney Island Aquarium and many other
places!! As a trainbuff I'm getting
Arthur interested and we go to the NYC
Transit Museum in Brooklyn, the Shoreline
Trolley Museum in Branford, Connecticut (where we are members) and other
Train Museums. At the Shoreline Trolley Museum I'm a volunteer motorman/tour guide there. It's a strictly voluntary job (no pay!!!) but how else could I get to drive antique trolleys and NYC Subway cars over a 1.5 mile track? Some people have model trains, I'd rather operate real ones!!!
I
graduated East Meadow HS in '71, Nassau
CC in '73 , Pace U. in '76 , and the
Police Acad in '82-Always looking for
old friends!!!
See ya!!!!
Note:
As a proud New Yorker, a proud NYC cop, and a proud American I was deeply affected by it. I lost several friends in the attack, including two Police Officers I worked with, Ronnie Kloepfer and Tim Roy. One of the kids on my block when I was growing up, Danny Brethel, a captain in the Fire Dept was also killed. There are probably other people I knew who were killed in the attack.
Several days before the attack I took my 5 yr old son to a minor league baseball game in Staten Island. (the Staten Is Yankees) We had seats behind home plate and directly in front of us behind the center field wall the twin towers stood prominently. I pointed them out to my son there and on the ferry back to New York. I have no idea how I can explain what happened to the buildings the next time we go there.
As a cop I spent many an hour at ground zero, an experience I'll never forget. I will also never forget how really great people have been. I am in awe of the thousands of people who travelled great distances at their own expense to volunteer and help out. I also have the deepest respect for our troops oversees fighting to root out terrorism. Lets all pray for their safety and for a speedy victory.
