Great conversation piece at parties. Always get a roar with our favorite cheer… “You can’t Get Our Zippers Down…No you can’t get our Zippers Down!!”

>>Do you have your own website?
To read more about the Mission that lured me away from TV and Radio Broadcasting (great career move actually, as I now get to be a better Dad and I coach my son and daughters ball teams year round!!! Something my 18 years in broadcasting didn’t allow for!)
www.stpatrickcenter.org >>Finally, any current/old photos to share? (no nudity please...)
