Jerry
Vilhotti graduated from the only college that won the NIT and NCCA
basketball tournaments in the same year but more importantly than
that - a Jonas Salk who helped rid some of the world of polio with
his vaccine was also given the opportunity to contribute to Mankind
and graduated from the same NYC school that's called in some circles:
"The poor man's Harvard". This and the fact that there was
a place of higher learning that indeed gave every race, nationality
and creed an opportunity to play in the game of sculpting a better
world gives him great joy. |

Long ago Max Strange discovered how to deal with pre-bedtime-snacking-induced nightmares...write 'em down and share them! Strange has had several stories, poems, and art pieces in the speculative fiction small press, but that was almost a decade ago before life intruded and Strange became too busy to write. Recent events have awakened Strange to the fact that no one is promised "a round 'tuit," and nightmares had better be shared while they can. |

The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!" |
