FEATURED POSTER'S MESSAGE

Hi, I'm known as Doc. Nickname was accquired about '68 when I was a corpman in the Navy.

At one time I was a Thoroughbred Racehorse Trainer/owner. In the early 70's however, I switched to being a truck driver. At first part-time, then full time. I figured I could make better money trucking, than with horses. I was a owner/operator for the U.S. Military/Gov't, and the Railroad out of Norfolk, Va. and Baltimore, Md.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, after serving in the Navy a very short time, (medically discharged-sleeping disorders), moved to Baltimore, Md. Drove truck for 27 yrs. 21.5 yrs. over the road, 5.7 yrs. local. Was injured in an accident, and am now on physical disability, immobilized about 85%. I now live 40 miles south of Chicago with a lady I met on-line, believe it or not. We both have something in common with each other. We're both nuts.

I started on webtv in Feb. '98, right after my accident in July. It was the best therapy in the world for me. Started making webpages for me and for others. I had a great mentor.

My hobbies are model railroading, build & design. I'm a railroad enthusiast also. I've studied trains, have several dozen videos on trains, have been on many excursions. I like country & western music, Johnny Cash is my favorite. I'm 54 yrs of age. born on Aug. 9, 1948.
