I live in Atlanta.

I was born in 1948 and lived in Pittsburgh until 1968 when I went to
graduate school and army.

I rode the streetcar to South Hills High School and Pitt.

I have worked as a transportation planner, computer programmer, and IT
manager at the State of Georgia since 1973.

I read the archives extensively before I joined the list.

George:

Where do you live?   How ancient are you?   What is your  
background?   What do you do for a living?   How did you get  
interested in the list and the assumed subject of the list?  Derrick  
can tell you how to get into the archives.   Some of us put little  
biographies on the list several years ago.
