User:Alan J Franklin~enwikiquote

With a Master's Degree in English Education from a University in Pennsylvania, Alan J. Franklin, AKA HiFlyer, set out to change the world one word at a time.

That was in 1972. This is now, and looking at Wikiquote, Wiktionary, and the other Wiki projects, I am a happy retiree!

I have many interviews with famous and infamous people to add to the equation, mostly done during a stint as a news production person with CNN. There are interviews with some interesting people in my library, including one with the current resident of the White House completed before his first court victory in 2001.

Hopefully, my news production stint will enable my articles here to be reasonably clear. Let's all learn the Wiki-ropes together.

And a special hello to many of my former chat mates from my SYSOP days at CNN, before the magic died and they killed off Mirc chat right along with Al Gore.

Visit my politically incorrect blog, Nasty Letters, to see a picture of my Tuxedo kitty, Mieu Mieu, one of my three kittys.

Now that you know my politics, know that they do not influence my presentation of events. Political posturing is reserved for my blog.

Alan J. Franklin has made w:Houston, Texas, his home for the last 25 years. He is the proud daddy of a grown and married daughter and the loving husband to his patient and amazing wife.
