Here there are Catholic items (including my collection of prayers in Latin and many other languages, and an audio file of a Kindergarten class praying in Latin).
There is also a page of links to other Catholic resources on the Internet.
And there's information here about the Traditional Latin Mass.

I have information here for homeschoolers, about the L.P.H. Resource Center.

I also do private tutoring for children in the Malvern
area (western Philadelphia suburbs), mainly reading & math.

One of my hobbies is making Miniatures. Here are pictures of some of the things I've made.

My mother died in June 2001, and I have set up a little Memorial web page for her. Please visit it.

In the course of getting my degree and certification in Elementary Education at West Chester University (West Chester, Pennsylvania), I did half my student teaching in London. This is my tale of my experiences there.
More Pictures added October 2005!

In 2002-2003, I was in the FSSP seminary in Denton, for a year. I don't have any stories about it here, but there are a couple sets of pictures from around the seminary: the seminary itself, Denton, and some Lakes around there.

In 1983, I was in a seminary in Rome, Italy for a year. Here I have some stories about those days, my travels around Europe, with pictures and even some audio files.

Three "slide shows" of vacations in Florida!
Year One (August 1990)
Year Two (August 1997)
Year Three (August, 2000)
Year Four (July, 2003)
And you can see some movies from my most recent visit to Florida: Year Five (August, 2005)

There is a little art gallery here, with colored scans of photographs of some of my oil paintings and drawings. A graphic browser (e.g. Netscape) is necessary to view them.
A gallery with a PC-produced picture I've done on the Packard Bell 486.
Some pictures I made while I was living in Nebraska.
And pictures from my old Commodore computer.
3-D Animated Movies.

Here are some original stories (I mainly write stories for children). Some with Illustrations!

After several years of working with children labeled "hyperactive" or with "Attention Deficit Disorder" (ADD/ADHD), and having studied philosophy, I combined my philosophy studies with my actual observations, and thought of a different explanation for why children like that appear different, having to do with the nature of Time.

I have a Commodore-128D computer. Here I have some Commodore-related things. I had been using a Commodore since 1984, and started this web site from a Commodore computer using a shell account to the internet.
I now also have a PC (Packard Bell 486 DX2 66 Multimedia Computer July 1995, upgraded in August 1999 to a Packard Bell Multimedia 882 MII 333 MMX 32 RAM 4.3 HD Win98).

This is a little WINDOWS 3.1 game I wrote called "GREENS.ZIP". It's based on a little hand-held game I had a long time ago. You have to press the colors to turn them all green. Try it! It's 66.3 K compressed (171 K unzipped). I wrote it using Borland Turbo C++ 4.5.

There is also a more recent version of the program, greatly improved, by the same name. It is also in Zip format, but much larger. It was written with Visual Basic. It is also called GREENS.ZIP

Here are some music related things, including tablature for some guitar songs I've written and Gregorian Chants, and a WAV file of me playing the harp, and playing an original composition on the Lute.


I am in the tiny borough of Malvern, PA, a western suburb of Philadelphia, in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
I put a short home movie of the 2005 Malvern Fair up on the Internet Archive!
