Jim's Introduction

[Jim Ferer]

I decided to take the plunge of joining the Old Crowd after HP
withdrawal got too severe.  I'm afriad that other forums have gotten
to be chat rooms based on their message volume with no hope of real
discussion.  So here I am:

Jim Ferer, aka "Dadgrid"
53, born Oct. 1, 1949

I live in the outer NYC suburbs in Connecticut.  I work as a safety
manager for a large civil works contractor.

As some of you know, I have two daughters, 9 and 12, who have tagged
along with me to HP events when I had the care of them for the day. 
They live in Massachusetts with their mother, and enjoy HP very much.
 Rachel in particular can give some of us a run for our money when it
comes to HP trivia.

I am the author of two short fic works, "The Granger Interview" and
"The Letter."
