Once again, I am very pleased to welcome you to my newly created website!

For a number of years, family, friends and fans have urged me to create a site  and with the insistence of my daughters and particularly our artist and business entrepreneur daughter, Jan, who stepped in, did the design, color, layout and all the technical aspects involved, then said, 'Here it is Dad, you fill in the blanks!'  Without her it would have taken me forever to create what she has done... her artistic skills, her love and tenacity never cease to amaze me and I can not thank her enough for all her efforts.  She's a very talented young woman having designed and built a 5,000 square foot Craftsman style home on their 30 acre family ranch and vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley just north of Santa Barbara, California.  She's a designer and artist and especially enjoys  working with aficionados of Craftsman Style architecture. If you are a devotee, a visit to her  popular website, CraftsmanTouch.com is a must!

Humor me for just a minute or so more regarding our two other daughters of whom we are equally as proud.  Our middle daughter, Barbara, is a health spa designer and consultant for hotels and resorts internationally.  Besides numerous projects in the U.S., you can find her designs in Brazil, Peru (4) Chile, Kuwait, the Caribbean, Bora Bora, the Bahamas and multiple projects for the prestigious Orient Express Hotels worldwide.  She conducts her business from Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Leslie, our youngest daughter, is a voice actor and you can hear her voice all over the country and internationally, since she was recently signed to be the 'promo voice' for NBC Universal broadcast throughout Asia and South America.  From her own home studio in Edmonds, WA it's astounding the amount of work she does thanks to  today's exotic technical advances in communication.   Obviously, I thinks she's outstanding but hear for yourself and log on to: www.voicebythesea.com

The last member of our brood, Edward, arrived two weeks after we started filming The Green Berets at Ft. Benning, GA. and I did not see him until three months later.  He reminded me of a little bear cub and that's where he got his nick-name 'Bear' which everyone affectionately calls him today.  Having welcomed three daughters prior to his appearance, we just assumed he would be a girl to be named Katharine...but the plumbing was not in accordance.  He's a gregarious, outgoing fellow and when time permits, joins us at various film festivals.

Speaking of festivals, we want to keep everyone updated on our activities relating to appearances, reruns on TV and other news over the current year which can be found in the To Our Fans section.
