Hi My name Michael I am 67 years old and was a precision engineer. and also 2nd engineer in the merchant Navy and visited many different countries and I met many people with different believes and cultures and admire. and made many freinds. I have just started using a computor and find it very intresting and making freinds with flickr members. its great. My main hobby is pigeon racing and it takes up most of my time I enjoy my retirement and often visit my sister who teaches languages in Spain. my Mum was an Ellis and niece to my great Aunt Ellis and is the great age of 90 years. may I wish all good health and living. Remember our past or history is the future, and we should learn not to make the mistakes as others did. So take care evryboddy Ellis2008
