New York City by way of saint cloud, Minnesota. After 32 years as a New York City resident living in Astoria, Queens I relocated to St. Cloud, Minnesota on March 19th 1986. I wanted to catch one last St. Patrick's Day parade, which, in essence is a 5 mile long party that travels uptown, parallel to Central Park and is held on March 17th every year.

I am also a PROSTATE CANCER SURVIVOR and in 2010 discovered I had been blessed with a spontaneous remission from a long history of HEPATITIS C. Now, in 2018 it appears that the virus is permanently gone. In my attempt to undergo both Viral Load and Geno-Type testing, the results showed that there was a complete absence of the virus itself, with only the antibodies remaining. Geno-Type testing could not be done due to the complete absence of any virus cells left to be tested.

Annual follow-ups for both the Prostate Cancer as well as the Hepatitis C continue to remain NEGATIVE.

I celebrated my 64th birthday on April 2nd and this past November 3rd marked my 9th year being clean and sober.

I stopped smoking in 2010.
