A Few Favorite Links

This is my personal links collection - not a link exchange page.  I have personally chosen to add these links to a few of my favorite people and places on the net!

The Special & Personal Links:

My Mom's church in Bayville, New Jersey.  Aside from being the world's greatest Mom, she is also very involved in the newest addition to the Presbyterian Church.  Every month for many years, she and my Dad organized and participated in a monthly AIDS dinner in Central New Jersey.  Through donations of time, money and food, she and others involved with the church provided a home cooked meal to some very thankful people.

When you need some rest and relaxation...
The MacMaster House B&B in Portland Oregon (Choose the McCord Suite for the ultimate experience at this historic Inn with Innkeepers Skip & Louise)
The Quail Hollow Inn in Chester Vermont (One of the most relaxing Vermont inn's - you'll feel right at home with Innkeepers Bob and Peter)

The Entertaining Places:

Berkeley Sweet Shops...The Home of "Fine Quality" Chocolates and Candies! Maintaining High Standards Since "1910"! Try their delicious Salt Water Taffy or Creamy Fudge! Berkeley Sweet Shops...On the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey! 1-800-645-3521 This is a personal favorite since I grew up along the NJ Shore in the 70’s and 80’s. I spent many a night with friends on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights…..

The Informative Places (Including History):

The Asbury Park Press - get all the news from the New Jersey Shore! Not only the newspaper from (near) my hometown, but also the newspaper that my Dad worked for until retirement - although that was when it was still a SMALL HOMETOWN paper (not part of the monster corporation Gannett). As a Court Reporter, he covered many of the state’s most intriguing stories, including the murder trial of the wealthy family from Toms River and the horrible fire at Great Adventure Amusement Park that killed several people in the Haunted Mansion (now a "garden area" at the amusement park).

RMS Titanic On-Line:

Fascinating information on the construction of Hoover (Boulder) Dam on the Colorado River in the early 1930’s. This incredible story was the basis for a program on the PBS series, "American Experience", probably one of the finest programs on television.

Colleges & Universities I Have Attended:

Johnson & Wales University, Providence RI...it was only a "College" when I attended from 1984-1986!

Widener University, Philadelphia PA. I actually attended the Brandywine Campus in Wilmington Delaware and the main site is actually in Chester, PA, a few miles south of Philadelphia.

The Best Real Estate Agents:

Why are they the best?
Each of the following agents spent the better part of a full day of their busy schedule to plans and see several homes and condos during my 2004 summer of exploration (more info here).  Each knew that they only had a 1 in 3 chance that I would choose their market, but they took the time anyhow.  In Portland and Ft. Lauderdale, other agents I contacted either did not contact me back, or left things "open" advising me to contact them when I was in the area to buy, or after I choose a location.  So, kudos to the following for your commitment to professionalism:

Ft. Lauderdale Florida:
