Education
- High School Location
- New Orleans, LA
- High School Name
- J. F. Kennedy Senior High School - when I attended (1966-69-GASP!) it had just opened and was considered the most innovative public high school in Louisiana, including two huge air-conditioned rooms (no other rooms has A/C) for the students' computer !! Apparently, this school, like the public education system throughout the USA, suffered many problems through the past nearly 4 decades. Some good news: it seems that even after the devestation suffered by my beloved city, especially in the area of JFK High, the school itself is improving and could become again a positive example. However, this can occur only if the federal and state governments begin to allow the flow of donated and delegated funds finally reach New Orleans - now in its third year after Hurricane Katrina and still without many necessities of life and growth.

- Current Job Description
See above "Skills" - I run my own businesses, as I always have (although not "officially" until 1985), which offices' personnel consist of one full-time professional - me - and two part-time professionals. Being originally from New Orleans, LA, having moved to Baton Rouge, LA in 1994, strictly due to the prevailing political & business atmosphere in New Orleans. I am now beginning another new venture: I will become an international smalll business consultant via contracting with an international non-profit English association, I expect that I wil be rather busy learning that new area of skills beginning in January 2008. I will vigoriously promote (or where necessary - introduce) intelligent, INDEPENDENT (non-political), & innovative entrepreneurship training & mentoring to all available areas, starting in one year and continuing as long as it remains interesting & rewarding to me and others. This includes obtaining a living/office space in New Orleans, LA ASAP, while maintaining my living/office location here in Baton Rouge as long as it works for me. I am also thinking of doing the same somewhere in "western" LA, i.e. Lafayette or the surrounding area, which may eliminate the necessity of my Baton Rouge location. I have a dream goal of owning a living/office location in New Orleans, another location in our fantastic country that presently appears to be in the southwest or western portion, i.e. Arizona or Oregon OR southeast, i.e. Tennessee or Kentucky, PLUS another living/office location in Spain (fell in love with the people & the land in the mid-80s). So, all of my soon-to-be new contacts, friends, mentors, mentees, etc. I exoect to meet & nourish from Baselux better start networking with me very soon! I look extremely forward to this new experience and hope I can give some light, knowledge, business & friendship to others in this unusual group of evidently unique people.
