Other Experience

I have appeared on TV (even listed in TV Guide) while acting as President of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation from 1987 - 1989.
I am the creator of the Broome County Walk Of Fame in Binghamton NY in front of the Metro Center.
I was instrumental in obtaining the Rod Serling Star in Hollywood, where I co-produced and directed a documentary on Rod Serling that was shown only at the Hollywood Star Ceremony Party. I delivered many celebrities to the ceremony and after-party from my long list of Celebrity friends and acquaintances. (You can find my pix with Buddy Ebsen and a short article about my role in the Serling Star festivities in the Twilight Zone Magazine).
I put on several 90 minute programs on the life and career of Rod Serling at several Star Trek Conventions.
I proposed the first carousel renovations project before the CAUD Committee in Binghamton in 1987. The Adopt A Horse Project.
1976, for America's Bi-Centennial, I lectured At SUNY Binghamton and many local schools on the history of Presidential Campaigns and their long line of collectibles that were used to help win elections.
Became Totally Disabled with a Back Injury in August of 1974 which greatly curtailed my theatrical endeavors. However, as noted above I began doing shows again in 1998 - 2001 with the St. Mary's Cabaret & Rock Bottom Players Shows. (6 Shows in total)
From 1970 to date, I have been entertaining throughout Broome County by playing piano and singing in area Nursing Homes, Senior Centers, Lodges, Senior Living Centers, etc. With the onset of Karaoke, I also use background tapes for portions of my entertainment, both as sing-a-longs and as backgrounds for some of my solo selections.

Special Skills

Instrumental Abilities: Piano, tuba

Although I now have some heart problems, and I spend much of my time in a wheel chair, I am still entertaining throughout Broome County by playing piano, singing, and telling jokes and stories to fit the occasion. My entertainment programs run from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
I am hopeful that there may be small roles available to me that I could play in my wheel chair. I can stand up for only 2 to 3 minutes at one time but am trying to get stronger and be able to stand for longer time periods.
I have composed 12 songs, mostly church hymns and Christmas songs from 1970 to date.
I have written a few Church-related programs which I also directed through the years.
