Recovering Abuzzard.Born somewhere in the first half of the last century. I teach at a detention facility for incarcerated youthful offenders and do some contract work for the US State Dept. Language, literature and history are among my chief interests. Also jazz and classical music, painting and sculpture. Former officer in the Army National Guard, former newspaper reporter and editor, former World War II refugee, former drunk. I'm a friend of Bill W. and a full-time survivor. Draw and sketch for a hobby, play chess, fish in the ponds and lakes of New Hamphshire and, in the winter, skate on those ponds and cross-country ski on the wood trails. I like firearms but don't like to kill animals, so I don't hunt except with a camera. Kill a lot of empty tin cans for target practice, though. E-mail me at ogamik@aol.com.
