CURRENT MISSION

To visit as many of my friends in Poland as possible, and make new ones in the process.

ABOUT ME

I'm married, 2 adult kids, 1 grandson.
I absolutely love to laugh, to meet people and make friends. That's why I keep returning to Poland and why I spend so much time on my computer, keeping in touch with the people I meet. Being a friend to others is my goal in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the most powerful force in the world and people are the top priority. Forgiveness, acceptance, and keeping promises/commitments are very important aspects of love. I try to live in such a way that people will be able to say, "He was there when I needed a friend."
