NTRB--North Texas Radio for the Blind I currently co-host READER'S DIGEST and have read for, hosted and co-hosted, programming for THE ECONOMIST and for THE DALLAS MORNING NEW/FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM on North Texas Radio for the Blind both in the "live" studio and the sound booth. In addition I helped produce and present Valentine's Day programming for "The Eyes of North Texas" based upon my great-grandparents' love letters from during the Civil War. I have also recorded Audio Books for the Blind. A Radio Theater production is in the works as well. In the past I have recorded jingles for Irby Chevrolet, PSA's for the Chinese Golden Acrobats and Plaza Theater as well as numerous Radio Spots and TV Voice Overs for Bill Fegan Attractions.

I presently co-host READER'S DIGEST at North Texas Radio for the Blind and run Karaoke at a neighborhood pub in Oak Cliff. I also continue to host an annual Variety Show benefit I started for LEGACY FOUNDER'S COTTAGE (an AIDS Hospice in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas) six years ago. In two and a half hours, we manage to raise a little over $2K per year consistently from a venue with a maximum capacity of 40. I pulled down and chose the the articles and edited the copy for THE ECONOMIST broadcast for North Texas Radio for the Blind for 4-5 months until the original host was able to come back and continue to do the same with READER'S DIGEST presently. I am just now wrapping up an Audio Book for NTRB and have agreed to schedule another to read for them in the very near future. My current project is a Civil War piece, MAGNOLIA MEMOIRS, (an expanded version of my Valentine's Day Program) gleaned from my great-grand parents' love letters, which I am developing for stage and Radio Theater. Eventually there will be a book to publish all of the letters along with relevant historical information about the places from which they were writing.
