couple o' PHOTOS

The photo on the left is my brother, Sid and I in 1951, taken in the Oakland hills before they were covered with houses. The one on the right is myself, 1998 in Paradise, CA, my present home. I've been in construction most of my working life. Started by driving a Transit Mixer (concrete truck) in Viet Nam and still do. One thing about Viet Nam is that you end up with some great life long friends. Ed Senior in Lake Tahoe and Mike Pizzoli in Eureka will always be friends I share great memories with from country. We see each other once a year.... maybe thats why we stay friends.

FAVORITE WEB SITES

http://ddi.digital.net/~hmcginni/McHome.html Anyone looking for McGinnis genealogy should go to Howard McGinnis' website, as he has done a tremendous job with the help of some of our distant cousins in his research. Thank you Howard!

My favorite fun site is that of Art Bell's at ARTBELL.COM

If you're browsing the internet looking for those people with "Stirman" as a first name... good luck, they ain't a whole lot of us...( Hello Stirman Knight in Hawaii )

If you're looking for a nice place to visit, try Paradise, Calif. Check out the web sites created by ParadiseDirect at Sierra Technical Institute. Dean has some great computer classes and very reasonable prices on all his computers. (No, he didn't pay me to say that, I just really appreciate someone who is happier making customers his friends, than becomming rich overnight)

a few of my HOBBIES and INTERESTS
;/Pgt;

I've always been interested in anything related to art, especially paintings. I paint whenever I get the chance and some have said that I'm a good artist, but I've seen too many fantastic artists to claim being good. Everyone is an artist in their own style as long as they're happy with what they do. Cartooning is another form of art I enjoy doing. I've heard it said that cartoonists are frustrated artists, I think that's very true.

I spent several years learning GWBasic programming. I can now make any program I want with a programming language no one uses any more. Maybe next year I'll start training to be an Edsil Mechanic.

I've always enjoyed fishing, camping and the outdoors. The beach and ocean have always been one of my favorite places. The Red White and Blue near Santa Cruz is a great spot for getting away from the crowds. I've met some interesting people there...

I guess I'd have to say that my main interest is going to bed at night with a smile, knowing I've enjoyed the day. We're only given a few of them, and if it wasn't an enjoyable one then it was lost forever. After Viet Nam, every day has seemed nice...

PUBLIC APOLOGY

I have to do this, so I can go to bed tonight with a smile...

I HEREBY APOLOGIZE to Dave and Patty Overton for calling them dirty rotten SOB's. However, I cannot apologize, nor am I responsible for the multitude of others who have done the same.... Now I'm smiling...

E-MAIL

I'm hoping to locate others from MCB5 who were in Da Nang or Dong Ha from 1966 to 1968, or any other McGinnis' from the John and Sarah lineage.

Or just anyone with the same interests as mine... anyway, my e-mail address is leemcg@home.com
