For fourteen years I have been giving Cleveland History lectures to raise money for the A-T Children’s Project, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for ataxia-telangiectasia, a rare genetic disease. Early Friday morning our grandson Sean,15, lost his personal battle with A-T. Sean died of respiratory complications in the pediatric intensive care unit at Cleveland Clinic. With a heavy heart I will carry on in Sean’s memory.

I did my Pride of Cleveland; Hometown Rockers program this morning at Grafton Library. I wasn't sure how s*x, drugs and rock'n'roll would play to a 10 am senior crowd. Damn, they got into it!

Coming to Mentor March 2!
