Music! I play tuba with Kovanda's Czech Band. Music education gives people many important skills, including teamwork, the ability to listen carefully, concentration, and dedication. Reading music strengthens their ability to work in mathematics, engineering, computer science, and many other fields. It also educates their ear (so to speak), so for the rest of their lives music will be a rich source of enjoyment. Please support music education.

Orthodox Christianity is a tradition of spiritual growth through the cultivation of personal humility and continuous prayer combined with liturgical worship. Long ago, Christianity knew no division between East and West, and varied liturgical traditions were considered part of one faith. Since I first learned of Orthodoxy through a Western Rite liturgy, I have a small collection of Western Rite texts here, and some information about the small church where I learned about it. More information may be found using my short list of other Orthodox sites on the web.

Amateur Radio! Amateur Radio is both a hobby and a public service. Learning and practicing engineering skills, interpersonal communication skills, and teamwork prepares a young person for whatever career they may pursue. Later, they may save lives by providing communications during a weather or other disaster. And it can open the world to someone who is no longer able to travel physically. To learn more about this fine hobby you can visit these web sites.
