I have pulled a number of organizations from the brink of disaster - the most recent one is Twin States Network - a non-profit that provides support, education and prevention services to people impacted by HIV and Hepatitis C who live in Vermont and New Hampshire.

I started the first successful after hours child care program in Vermont. It's still going strong.

After lunch one winter day, a snowman we had made in the quad collapsed. We were in Miss Elfant's physic's class. "Oh my god!" shouted Jimmy Meyersburg, on observing the collapse of the snowman, "my hash pipe was in his mouth!" He ran out of the class. Miss Elfant said nothing.

Chaia Robin Mide and I have been together for 30 years. We met during a feminist action against a porn store. We were in the same "getaway car", which wouldn't start.

She is a videographer and has worked for many years in Community Television.

We are pretty happy and I love her very much. We are both retired
