User_rfco_1a1d60c0d I am a retired freelance technical and science writer. I live with my wife, Karen, in downtown Bethesda, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. I love books, coffee shops, friends, family, museums, classical music, jazz, painting, photography, and writing. I intend to spend my retirement writing more plays and stories, and developing new concepts in education.
