| Post subject: | Introduction from Connecticut |
I always feel a bit odd when doing things like this, so please forgive me if this is dry and boring. Hi, my name is John, and I live just a few miles from BUSA here in the States (Danbury, CT). I have been collecting Breitling for the better part of two and a half decades. I have a few in my collection, and primarily search out LE's. I am a former Intel and Ops Squid, and spent a few years working for Uncle Sam. After that, I earned a couple of degrees and worked at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation doing research in various programs in their lab. Currently, I teach, and am leaving a chairperson-ship in a private school to work with at risk youth, teaching math and, of course, science. I still like to travel and enjoy wine, collecting books (antique and LE's), as well as listening to music (Classical, Jazz and , well, punk). Thanks! -jbbb |

Ramones? Certainly! BTW, how does one go about posting pics here? Same as on TZ? I suppose a quick scan of the FAQ would be in order (it seems as if I owe Admin a pic of my CWS LE Sport to replace the one I mistakenly gave him that actually belongs to someone else...) -jbbb |

Yeah. Can you say "Obsessive/Compulsive"? Sighhhhh........ My problem with pics is that I am terrible with the digi-cam. My wife used to help me before she passed away. Her pics rivaled those of the famous Ron! -jbbb |
