I would like to dedicate my page to my Mother
and Father.....who gave me the happiest childhood imaginable. My Mother
was the most wonderful Mother a child could ever have....and was always
there for me.........ready to listen to all the adventures of my "pretend"
animal friends...such as "Mr. Lion", "Mr. Fox", "Mr. Wolf" and the many
others conjured up in my imagination. When I was older, she put up with
all the pets in my room...never complaining about my many snake "friends"
in aquariums, my tropical fish, my pet mice, and all the other assorted
creatures.
My Father who worked long hours...both at his job...and at home, doing
all the building and repair work on our house also found lots of time to
spend with me. He made me a home-made slingshot, a bow, miniature parachutes....bought
me my first model rocket, my Have-a-Hart animal trap so I could TRY to
obtain a baby raccoon and skunk for pets! He helped me transport my many
snakes to the Science Show in Binghamton back when I was in high school.
(I almost dropped dead when I won First Prize for my speech and exhibit!)
We went trout fishing together, watched ALL the television westerns that
were so popular at the time, and discussed the exploration of outer space
and all the scientific inroads that were being made back in the 50's and
60's.
Both of my parents were wonderful, unselfish people who gave up a great
deal for my happiness. They often wore patched coats and went without
material goods for themselves....so I could have something I especially
desired. They were....in every sense...the ideal parents. Both of my parents
have now passed away, but the gift of love they gave to me will never die.

I would also like to dedicate this page to my loving husband,
Jerry. He has been not just a husband, but my best friend, my confidante
and most of all, he has put up with all my idiosyncrasies, my stubborn
nature, and my very, very eccentric ways. He has accepted me
for the unique person that I am, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.
I would like to dedicate my site to the following persons. All are good friends, and many gave me the encouragement to create a Web Site of my own.

Daniel Kurth - a VERY BRAVE man....fighting against all odds! A true HERO!

I'd like to also dedicate a portion of this page to a dear friend who
wishes to share his talents with the world, but also wishes anonymity.
He has many talents..including writing beautiful poetry, stories, and
a novel.
But one of his greatest loves is singing and playing his guitar, and
he would like to share his love of music with all people throughout the
world.
So, please....feel free to sing along and enjoy!
Just remember..the songs are played and sung by him and are under COPYRIGHT
protection! Do NOT attempt to record these songs in any way!!
Just listen...and enjoy the voice of our new Phantom Singer.
So....give a click and hear some great music!!
