Subject: RE: BS: WHAT DO YOU DO ?
I'm a Calligrapher, wood cutter. That is I make hand carved wooden signs. I also do a little stone cutting. I teach traditional Shotokan Karate in the Providence, Rhode Island public schools.(Those of you who know what I mean will know what I mean when I say my rank is "Go-Dan")I also sail as Boatswain-Chanteyman whenever I can and the money is right. I Rig "Square Rigged" sailing vessels, and occasionally hand hew masts, yards and other spars. Most of my income, however comes from singing gigs. I used to be an Air Traffic Controller (i5.5 years in the USAF) For you U.K. Cats, I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath for 3 years and RAF Bruntingthorpe (Near Leicester) for 1 year. Chief Controller at Bruntingthorpe, Approach Control Shift Supervisor at Lakenheath. 1957 to 1960. Enough, Cheez, I'm long winded.
