1 edit | Re: [OT] Introductions Holly - I'm young enough to be your older sister. I've been crunching since 10/10/2003.
My friend Kirsten is fighting breast cancer. She just finished chemotherapy and is now doing radiation for 5 weeks. My Grandmother died of Leukemia and allowed Doctors to use experimental drugs on her years ago for the cause. My best friend's son, Glen died from cancer 4 years ago (she also just lost her husband to an accidental death).

| Re: [OT] Introductions said by Dersgniw  :Normally I need no introduction, but....  My name is Brian. I grew up outside of Detroit. I've also lived in Philadelphia, Indiana and Cincinnati. I currently live in s.e. Ohio in the sticks and work up in Columbus developing software. Next stop, your town. Can't say why I joined, but I'm definitely glad I did. My wife and I spent about a year and a half in McConnellsville and Malta. I can't remember how to spell them now. It would have been about '83. I think it was a bad winter that year. We never got over to Athens though. That's a beautiful part of the country.:)

| I'm Dan... Well, that didn't take a lot to figure out, from my name. And surprise, surprise, I went to Texas A&M. I work for Verizon (no I can't fix your DSL or FIOS). I'm 31 years old and one of those annoying guys that knows enough to tick off the IT department by building rogue databases.
I'm from Texas. Born in Texas... And, God willing, I'll die in Texas. I'm probably one of the lightest skinned people you'll ever meet that was born with a hispanic last name. Though, I've lived up and down the I-35 Corridor, spending most of my time in the Corpus Christi area and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I've been married now for three and a half years to a woman that wasn't born in Texas, but by God she got here as fast as she could.
I've been crunching since 2001... Dang, has it been that long? And I've got many reasons for crunching... It is partially in memory of my maternal grandmother Idolina Marie Govella, maternal grandfather Daniel Treviño Govella, and paternal grandfather Manuel Luera.
And, to be honest, it is also for future self-preservation. With three grandparents having died of various forms of cancer, my odds aren't what you'd exactly call stellar. So, I'm doing what I can now. So, if I do get something... Well, at least I've been fighting it my entire life... And buddy, I'm going down swinging.

I'm 33 years old and a Pharmacist. I'm originally from northeastern PA (near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton), and now live just north of Philadelphia. I began crunching for TD almost four years ago, and I have no intention of stopping. It's the very least I can do for such a great cause.

Is this not the sweetest face? |
 (I had LASIK a few years ago, but the glasses help for driving at night.) I'm 53 (ouch!), and newly single. I'm a team leader in the corporate trust division of a fairly large regional bank.
I honestly can't remember how long I've been running TSC, but I know it's been at least a couple of years. Before that, all of my boxes were folding...I've been a member of Team Helix since its inception, and still fold on a couple of processors. I am passionate about both TSC & F@H, and I know we're accomplishing good things.
I am also passionate about photography and cats. I currently have 6 of my own indoors and feed 8 outdoors every day. All of the outdoor cats have been spayed/neutered and tested negative for FeLV & FIV. It's so nice every evening to see them all lined up in a row waiting for their dinner. I always know that somebody loves me. My most recent addition came from the alley. She has a chronic medical condition that requires daily medication, and I knew she wouldn't survive on the street. She was so sick and thin when I first brought her inside in November, but she's getting to be so pretty.
