Favorite Books:I enjoy reading history mostly, although I do try novels when I can. A favorite is the late Elmore Leonard. He lived in this area. He got the dialogue in his crime novels perfect.
Favorite Movies:That is hard to choose. But whenever I come across "The Magnificant Seven" on one of the countless cable stations, I'm hooked. I have to watch it.
Favorite Music: When we're home on a Saturday evening, I have on the Ed Love "Destination Jazz" program on WDET-FM. His tag-line is the "bluesy side of jazz and the jazzy side of blues". Now, you can listen to him online.
Hobbies:Detroit Tigers baseball in the Summer, and we hope, in the Fall. NCAA basketball in the Winter, up to March Madness in the Spring.
Family:It has been just Jan and me for the last 20 years. Between us we have 2 grand nieces and 2 grand nephews.
