i was thinking the same thing! i rode, showed, and trained hunter/jumpers as well! just out of curiosity, the "blueridge" part of your screen name wouldn't happen to be blue ridge, ga would it?

nope--the blue ridge mountain area of central virginia, a little city called lynchburg. wonderful horse country, although at my age a gentle canter through the woods is more my speed!! can't afford to break another leg over a refused double oxer!!!

Being a News Photogropher was the most fun I've had as a human being. The sad truth was I couldn't afford to move to Oklahoma City when PBS offered me a job.

My dad was the first television news photographer in Texas (WBAP). I grew up in the news business, and it was a blast having Peter Jennings and Walter Cronkite at the house for some wild Christmas parties. Dad spent most of his career working freelance for all the networks, since there were very few producers that he got along with well enough to stay on as staff. He covered everything from sporting events, to riots, to dictator uprisings, to local stuff. I would go with him to tote equipment and set up lighting. It was always a feast or famine way to make a living, but he was an incredible man and had stories that you would stay up all night just to listen to. I really miss him.

I was in sales as a mortgage associate, a bellman at a casino/hotel and an electrician apprentice!!! None of which I liked, obviously. I hold a Bachelors in Biology, but that's a useless degree for jobs quality, unless you are going to med school.

that's me
