About me: A lot to tell, but it's your stories I'm interested in. I am a long, long time journalist who ended up by way of NYC, Florida, Rhode Island, Cali & lots of stops in between, to settle in Westville. They're going to have to drag me away —kicking and screaming — from New Haven. Holler at me anytime.
