"VISTA Redux: 1969 a Year in the Life of a Volunteer"
"This book has been created because of events that happened almost 50 years ago. A nation at war, a youth culture in revolution, a young photographer trying to his his path in life-all collided at a point in time called V.I.S.T.A. Volunteers in Service to America was created as part of the war against poverty by allowing volunteers to serve in a community where that could effect change for a neighborhood, as well as effect change in the way they looked at themselves. We came from all walks of life and different parts of the country: New York, Massachusetts, California, North Dakota, New Jersey; we were a melting pot of mostly college kids in our early twenties. As volunteers, we established how we would fulfill our year of service, and then followed a daily routine, working as teachers, mentors, assistants, daycare workers, etc." Available through Amazon and The Drawing Room Press - 152 Spring Street, Newport, RI 02840.

"A Night at the Gaiety Male Burlesque in New York City"
69 Pages with dozens of black and white photographs taken with a hand held camera in poor lighting and blurred images; but for those who visited The Gaiety, memories return of how special was this little corner of Times Square. The price of admission after climbing a very long staircase lead you into a small and seedy theater with a stage reaching into the audience. The backdrop to the stage was hung with shimmering mylar curtain that framed the sexy clothed and then naked young men who entertained for the receptive audience. Visit one night at The Gaiety again!
