Gary's interests are his family and volunteering at his son's sporting events, science, history, politics, economics, business, sailing, flying, baroque classical music as well as ancient music, writing, genealogy, roller coasters, jet ski's, and just about anything that is fast and thrilling. During the early 1980's, Gary enjoyed skydiving, having made 217 jumps, with most of those being long duration free-fall.
I found that I am related to several famous people including famous singers, business people as well as state and national politicians. Additionally, I am related to famous people of the past including famous scientists and a famous fighter at the battle of the Alamo. The link to famous people runs through my paternal as well as maternal lines. Very exciting.
