to Barkley's Home Page. This site contains 490 of my favorite WWW links in the following categories: Astronomy and Space, Computer Ware (Hardware, Software and Webware and online stores), Education (including the best Encyclopedias, Institutes, and Museums), Entertainment (from games sites to Hollywood), Home Page Construction, Lost and Found (searching the Internet for people and places with the best search engines available), Metrology (which is my Electronics profession), Music, Sports (includes an excellent NFL section, as well an entire page devoted to Slow-pitch Softball), and U.S. Government, to which I have recently added a section for Federal Employees, and was last edited 25 February 2005.

FYI, Barkley is my 14 year old Bichon Frise (pronounced Bee-shon Free-zay). He loves to play hide-n-seek, tug-o-war, and go for car-rides. He likes anything we eat, especially cookies and French Fries! He's a constant source of amusement (one of his tricks is flinging pine-cones across the living room by shaking his head - you never know where they're going to land!) He is very affectionate, and is a good watch-dog. Barkley sired a litter born on Nov 5, 1996, and we kept Max as pick of the litter! Max loves to play catch with just about anything, and they both love to rip paper! As a matter of interest, Bichons do not shed their hair.

On June 01, 2004, I became a retired USAF Civilian Metrologist. As a Quality Assurance Evaluator for the 48th Component Maintenance Squadron at RAF Lakenheath for the last 2 years, I had been a member of a team which evaluates contractor performance at the RAF Feltwell Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) located at RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, England. I then became manager of the Pro Shop at RAF Lakenheath Liberty Lanes until May 2, 2005! On May 3, I started working for Raytheon Technical Services (RTSC) at the RAF Feltwell PMEL. I live in Lakenheath, a quaint little Suffolk village located between Cambridge and Norwich in the region of East Anglia. My interests are: Astronomy and Space, Golf, the Internet, Mountain Biking,Science Fiction, Slow-pitch Softball, Tenpin Bowling, and of course Barkley and Max! I'm a diehard Chicago Bears fan, and I love watching American Football. I used to be an avid Baseball fan until the '94 strike, and I am very disappointed that there is no salary cap in baseball - I wonder how many of today's players feel they have to artifically enhance their performance to make it in the Major Leagues. I like mostly Rock music, and my favorite recording artists are The Eagles Metallica, and Shania Twain.

NOTE: In my Home Page Help section, I explain how you can create your own Home Page without any prior experience - see "How To Make Your Home Page". In the Lost and Found page, I've included all of the best search engines, which can be accessed without having to start at the actual site. A link is provided in case you desire a more comprehensive search, or would like to visit the actual site. Finally, I've included an On-line Shopping section on the Computer Ware page. These stores are well worth checking out if you want to save on your next upgrade!
