About Me
I live with my wife of 35 years in a small city in rural New Hampshire. For the past 10 years, I have worked at a local community college in various academic support roles & teaching developmental English. Although I have had to curtail some of my hobbies and leisure activities lately because of Parkinson's, I still enjoy writing(memoir & fiction), photography, model rocket building, vegetable gardening, and video editing. I am learning to adapt to my loss of control in the right-hand and the stiffness while walking but find the cognitive and speech problems difficult to accept.
