Typing up a profile always seems to be difficult for me. I can't understand why as I started my working career as a typesetter way back in the pre-computer days. I was always good at writing small articles and ad copy as well as layout and design. I have had a long and varied work-life and now that I am retired I look forward to helping the younger generation to achieve their goals and dreams in any way that I can be of use. I am a fierce environmentalist and a firm believer in Green Energy. I do believe that fossil fuels belong in the past. We have pushed our poor planet to the limit through our own ignorance. Now that we KNOW better we must DO better.
Phaeton.
