I saw this Tag Post and immediately loved this idea.

So in a sense I was tagged too!

So here's...5 Things About Me You Didn't Know

Hi Garth,

Thanks, what a great concept!

Okay... hmm... 5 things about me you didn't know, huh? Hmmm.... Well...

In my travels, I've been to 6 continents (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia)... The only continent missing from the list is Antarctica!

During my teenage years, I played competitive tennis (not so great at it) and swimming (I swam for my school - I was pretty good at it, but I found swimming laps to be boring!)

I have a cousin who used to work at the White House.

Some may know this already... I hold dual citizenship (USA/Australia).

I haven't read a fiction book since my 20s (I'm now 37)... unless you count "Rich Dad Poor Dad" (HA!)

(I've read lots of non-fiction though!)

Gordon, Jason Cain, Sandi, and in fact anyone else - care to share too?

Cheers,

Dien

Ouch, Dien...guess I'm it, huh? Okay, I'll play...

I was a runway type fashion model as a child.

I taught American History and other subjects in Sweden

My most embarrassing moment was when I was 12 years old and my swimsuit strap gave way and exposed me to the waist to my male instructor and a gallery of poolside observers.

I'm an inventor of lots of items and processes.

I used to shoot pool left or right handed (haven't played in years).

Okay, Pete, James Anthony, and Kelly...your turn.

Sandi Bowman

Whew.. This could be a real bummer... Let's see.

As a junior in high school, I wrote a script for The Twilight Zone for a class project. Teacher knew someone. Said script was "lost" while he was in NY. Show aired about a year later with is name on it.

Once beat out 5 college grads for a "desk job" that HR said I wasn't qualified for. Only one that passed the tests they gave. (School of hard knocks pays off!)

Cut records in the early '60's for "kicks". Sold 1000 copies to my radio listeners!

Only news photographer given permission to follow recovery efforts of a SAC bomber crash in Lake MI. Spent 4 hours in cabin under armed guard when cameras located wreckage.

Covering So. Governor's Conf. in Ky, had then Pres. Nixon walk up to where I was standing. He told the guy in front of me to step aside and let me get my photographs. The "guy" was Dan Rather.

Next.. Gordon?

Pete

5 things that nobody here knows about me....

I was an Army Paratrooper with 21 (non-combat) jumps.

I was bungee-jumping out of hot air balloons in the late eighties before anyone had ever heard of the sport.

The longest I’ve ever been able to hold a “job” was for 3 years with the Boeing Company, building the B2 Bomber.

I’ve applied for The Apprentice twice and Survivor three times (as well as a few others).

As hard as I’ve tried, I’ve never been banned from a forum.

I'm tagging Jason and Mark - HA!

Here's another thing you didn't know about me

Gary Halbert once told me personally that an idea I brought to him was worth a million dollars.

Of course I never did anything with it so I guess I'm one
of those Little Sh**T Weasels he always talked about.

In fond memory the Little Sh**T Weasel from South Beach.
