I have 50 years experience designing, building and maintaining sound and recording facilities. Quality control supervisor of a tape manufacturing and high speed duplication company. 20 years of on air experience and producer of syndicated radio programming... and a 5 year stint as member Board of Directors of a Public Access TV Corporation. Much like Steven Barr I dont know much on paper at 70 years old but Im still active in analog digital production and restoration. Yea Id like a couple year vacation stint doing something in New Zealand involving setting up a digital library. Still dreaming of more interesting years. D Nelson Ward --- On Sun, 2/1/09, Steven C.
