Our Web Master John asked us to do an 'About Us', so Frank proceeded to write up our Bio's or should we call them credentials, for what they are worth. We're both too old to go apply for jobs!

Anyway I read them and said to Frank "Pretty dry impersonal stuff", he replied that he's not a particularly funny guy, "Not true" I said, "you make me laugh a lot ?!?!?!"

"We’ve been married for 40 (sometimes long, sometimes short) years, and over that time have worked together in business and in the modeling field, doing everything, I think. It's been fun, and we have really enjoyed all the people we’ve met, and we're not through yet! A lot of you fellows who’ve bought our books have met me, I'm the one ALWAYS in the booth at the Toledo Show. Your kind words and continued support for our books over the years have been most appreciated; they make all the long hours and work worth while."

Thanks from both of us.
