JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE "PROFESSIONAL" ME.

Thanks for checking in!

Thank you Jeffrey Apaka for arranging the priveledged descent into the Royal Mausoleum for me and my son Kyle.  We will never forget being in the prescence of so many royal souls all gathered together in one place. Hallowed ground. Goose bumps and chicken skin merged!
