Poetry, lyrics and music have been close to my heart since childhood. I play guitar and have written several songs and poems converted to music....... Born and raised in Balimore and retired from the telecommunications industry...... Divorced....Otherwise, I enjoy swimming, science fiction and volunteering at several nursing home where I help with activities and prayer services.  The church is very important to me. I have found in my volunteering, the presence of or Lord. I would like to share some of my thoughts and writings from time to time and hope that  the Arthurs Den forum will be  satisfactory conduit.
