Who said we're all attention whores? I like reading about everybody!

I'm an original boomer born to a Wave and an aviator. After 20 years of Navy life my Dad accepted an offer from Grumman in LI during my 15th year. Survived 28 years in NY, some in NYC, but most working with the horsey set in Huntington LI. Plus a fabulous year in the British Virgin Islands on an 2-masted wooden schooner as cook. Then 10 years in Oyster Bay.

I'm now a damn Yankee - one who comes South and stays. The right stuff never asked, so I'm still single and don't plan to change that.

The Coastguard? That was owned by Acker Bilk's brother (Acker Bilk of saxaphone mood music fame) - great stargazy pie there...

Born in Savannah, Georgia.
Living in Jacksonville, Florida because that's where I work.
Plus it's a pretty town and I know it well...
I'd rather be in Western North Carolina but I get up there enough over the course of a year to keep me satisfied.

I LOVE Savannah - was there on business a couple of months ago and love the place so much. It reminds me so much of Dublin.

I'd rather live in either place. Old style Southern Gentlemen seem to congregate in both places.

Would that be because of the party atmosphere or the ambience?
