Hello.

I am just beginning to dabble in Wikipedia, but I have come to believe very strongly in the site as a generally reliable source of information.

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1956 and lived there and in New Haven, Connecticut; New York, New York; and Washington, DC before moving to Portland, Oregon in 1997 to take a new job. I hold a bachelor of arts degree from Yale University and a J.D. from Fordham Law School.

On Wikipedia my first project has been the creation of an article for my friend Steve Novick, a US Senate candidate from Oregon.

I would like to express my appreciation for all of the assistance I've received from other members of the Wikipedia community, most of whom I have never met, who have gone behind the scenes and helped me by cleaning up my mistakes. I hope to become adept enough to help others in the same way.
