I like to call this my Legacy Biography. It will be on the web forever, and it’s pretty comprehensive. Even my friends may find out some things about me they didn’t know, though much is still left on the sidelines and in books. But for an overview, this is pretty extensive. Thanks to Marquis Who’s Who for coming out with this new system of Press Releases of its biographees.
