An Ideal Man For An Ideal Career Craig Shniderman was born in Washington D.C., the “City of Lawyers,” in 1947, attached to a family tree laden with attorneys, so it would hardly be a surprise for Craig to become a lawyer. The surprise is that he did not.

Living Life In The Fast Lane If you’re going to be an actor, writer, musician, singer, lighting technician, director AND (not or) entrepreneur, you’d better start early in life and move fast. And that’s exactly what John Munn has done.

How many of us ever actually get to fulfill our childhood dreams? Did Alice stay forever in Wonderland? Did Dorothy find peaceful bliss in the Land of Oz? Of course not, though we can imagine that they might have, like the heroines in fairy tales, lived happily ever after in more mundane settings.

He brought us the blues... and made us happy It’s safe to say that Anton (“Tony”) Hollinger was predestined to be a restaurateur. In a farming region just outside Linz, Austria, where he was born, his parents owned a tavern and adjacent two-lane bowling alley (why not?).

William Wordsworth, poet laureate under Queen Victoria, observed wisely that “the child is father of the man,” and that dictum can be readily supported in the life story of Linwood Ashby Beverly, Jr. (That’s admittedly a highfalutin moniker to carry around with you all day, and Linwood Ashby Beverly, Jr. prefers to be called “Lin” by friends and family alike. “Heck,” he says, “I’m not sure where those names came from in the first place. There’s no history of them among our ancestors.”)

She's In A League Of Her Own You could call Susan Parsons Zipay a natural athlete. The second-youngest of seven children born to William and Doris Parsons during the Great Depression, she honed her skills against her older brothers and sisters, and she was readily accepted by the neighborhood kids – male or female – in Hingham, Massachusetts to play in their daily sandlot games...

She's Englewood's Very Own "Free Spirit" According to Google, a free spirit is “someone who is uninhibited by traditional society structures.

You Could Call Him A Family Man Kenneth W. Lounders, DMD is a dentist whose “roots” (if you’ll pardon the expression) are firmly planted in Florida, stemming as he does from grandparents and parents Richard and Stella Lounders, who were born and raised in the Sunshine State. His dad Richard started life in Key West and moved to the Tampa area when he was 15. There he met and married Stella, and they settled in Ybor City, just northeast of downtown Tampa...

A Self-Made Man Who Followed His Dreams There has been a long-standing argument in the sciences about “nature vs. nurture.” Are our lives shaped more by our environment or by our DNA? Learning in school and in life is obviously a huge factor, but what about one’s innate ability to learn and develop in the first place?...

James Bond He Wasn’t … Or Was He? Ray Humphrey is a man whose work was often a secret to many, but whose results were more often known to anyone who could read a newspaper. He has held so many positions that his briefest bio, in small type, would fill a page in the New York Times Sunday edition. And those exploits that he confesses to would be fodder for an exciting spy novel. In fact, he can claim to be the inspiration for at least four tomes of that genre...
