I have been the Director of Public Relations at a regional campus of a large state university for the better part of a decade. I am recently married and even more recently a first-time father.

The 16 years before that, which I refer to as my previous life, was spent behind the microphone, mixing board, editing controls, typewriter or table in the Press Box for several radio stations from Cleveland to Erie and definitely places in between.

In StoryTime Karaoke I have found a wonderful outlet for my love of reading and reading to people, especially children. I spent the last six Dr. Seuss Birthdays reading his books to a gym full of elementary school students. Here is a way to share that joy. (But please don’t ask if my wife likes me to read “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” to her)

Now I’m sitting behind a computer editor and having a blast creating the music beds for StoryTime Karaoke and hope to continue doing so for a long time.

Stuart was born to a small immigrant fishing family in the town of Guatemala, Spain. He worked for thirteen years on the goldfish farm, while selling his hand carved trinkets at night. He finally saved enough for bus fare to get to the next town over, then started all over again.

Finally reaching the new world and eager to unleash his entrepreneurial spirit, Stuart took place in a three-legged sack racing tournament and decided that burlap was the next "wonder fabric".

Burlap had it's moment in the sun...actually it was just a break in the clouds that day. So five years later, under mounting inventory of his cutting edge "Sta-Cool" underwear and sock line, Stu sold his burlap fabric company for, well, small potatoes.

He invested his winnings from both the burlap factory and the sack racing championship into a computer. Thankfully, Stu had continued his whittling ways and was selling his carvings on eBay to earn enough to give himself an honest shot at his dream of finding and joining those invisible people and voices who always around him.

Eventually, he ended up in the radio business, both as a broadcasting person behind the mike and also as an animal, which is a story better left untold.......at least here! Then he met Frank somewhere along the way, in this case one of those friendships that will last for quite a long time.

Are there new stories and rhymes from these two innovators that may one day grace the walls of story time stardom?

PS from the webmaster:
Today, Stu is a relatively well-adjusted father of three great kids and a terrific friend. I may have embellished a bit above. OK, OK. I wasn't sure if it was goldfish on the farm.....
