Personal background
Born in central NJ, just outside of Princton. Settled in Arlington, Va. where
I went to school. 'Escaped' from Washington-Lee HS in '77. Went to Embry-Riddle
Aero. Univ. in Daytona Bch. Got on with several commuter airlines as an
Instructor/Pilot/CheckAirman. I've been flying since I was 8. My first airline
job was in 1983, and now I'm a 757 pilot for a major airline based in the
Southwest. I'm also a contract pilot for Lockheed-Martin to NASA. THAT'S a real
kick!!!

I've lived in Somerville NJ; Arlington, VA; San Juan, PR; Dallas, TX; Atlanta, GA;
Fairfax, VA; Erie, PA; Norfolk, VA, commuted to Los Angeles from Norfolk weekly,
and now I live in Phoenix, AZ where I'm enjoying the sun and clear skies
looking up at the stars with my Meade 10" Starfinder, and 8" orange-tube
Celestron C8 telescopes.

That's about it...'have a very understanding wife, and 2 girls, ages 13 and 9.

Thank's for listening, leave a msg at the beep...

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, I REALLY think [i]ET is out there, otherwise...



[i]it'd be a pretty big waste of space...

As to actively LOOKING for [i]ET, there are many pros and cons to searching for other
life. If any other civilization IS out there, and are advanced enough to:



1) detect us,

2) distinguish us as an 'advanced' civilization(not as they are tho)

3) make it OFF their planet,

4) make it OUT of their system,

5) make it here to Earth,

What could we offer them?

Food? (it just might be us)...

Technology? Um, pardon me but as the line from Star Trek "Guardian of Forever"
went we'd still be stuck in the 'stone knives and bearskins' era of technology.

I really dont know...
