I am a sixty-eight year old Catholic single white male. I am a member of the Knights of Columus, former Presendent of the Sertoma Club (service group), past Co-president of an Italian culture club CIAO, love a good concert, my favorite poet is Robert Frost and have worked with several youth groups over the years.

     I am also grandfather of six. I enjoy fishing, gardening and watching the Bills win lose or draw!  I raised five children for the most part as a single parent (no matches). My best friend was my mother, we watched over each other until the day she passed away at ninety-four (April 14, 2007).

      I have been in business for most of my adult life. Presently my son Dan and I are partners in developing a building in Fredonia, New York. The building was formily occupied by the Fredonia Seed Company. My five very young sons and I moved from Buffalo to Fredonia after I divorced my wife of seventeen years.

     Suddenly I became very ill with kidney disease along with other medical issues. With the help of my Doctors, I have rebounded from all my medical problems with the execption of the kidney trouble.

     I would like to finish this project with my son Dan, who is a thirty- six years old father of three great little boys. The eight year old and the six year old go to a local Catholic school, hopefully with my help, they will be able to go to Saint Francis in Athol Springs. The eight year old is extremely bright. I am presently teaching him geometry and a little chemistry. We have very serious discussions concerning Carl Sagen and his books on astronomy. I am leaving my share of the business to my grand children and would like to here to help with their development.

       I am very active for my age and think I have a lot to offer my family and the community.

Thank you for listening.
