As this is my personal site and not the Bremerton Church of Church's official site. So I thought I ought to have a place to put the things that interest me.

Nothing here has been endorsed by the Elders of the church. In fact very little, if anything, will have to do with religion. Also I some of these sites may contain information that I do not agree with, but contain information I find useful. Like life, beware where you step, in this case click.

The first item I want to add to this site is something I have just discovered, Old Time Radio Shows. When I was a young kid I would hear about them and wonder why anyone would listen to the radio when they had television. When I was in the Boy Scouts the leader who was working with me would turn on the radio and we would listen to Sky King and Sargent Preston of the Royal Mounties. About two weeks ago someone I work with, thanks Ryan, told me about a free site you could download the old radio shows from. I am now hooked. So here are a few, not all free, for as I have discovered there are many out there.

We offer hundreds of vintage radio shows for you to listen to online in mp3 format, all for free. Before the days of video games, shopping malls, MTV, and the Internet, families used to sit in their living room each night to listen to radio shows such as Abbott and Costello, Superman, Groucho Marx, The Avenger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Homes, and many others. When TV become popular in the 1950's, most of these shows went off the air, but they now live on at websites such as this one and on weekly nostalgia radio broadcasts worldwide.

If you are interested in radio programs from "radio's golden age", these are the WWW pages for you. They are filled with many entertaining and educational topics for fans of nostalgic / old-time radio shows.

Radio Spirits is the world's largest marketer of old-time radio shows which it sells on audio cassette, compact disc and DVD through direct mail to its more than 600,000 catalog customers, in over 7,000 retail outlets, on its nationwide radio broadcasts and through its web site www.radiospirits.com. The Radio Spirits content library consists of more than 60,000 classic radio shows licensed by the Company on a primarily exclusive and ongoing basis. This library consists of popular old-time radio and classic video programs, including vintage comedy, mystery, detective, adventure and suspense programs such as The Jack Benny Show, The Shadow, Abbott & Costello and much more.

Another thing I like to do is go to re-enactments. I have been to Civil War, Mountain Men and Medieval re-enactments and for the most part enjoyed them very much. Here is my list of re-enactments, few I have been to, most not.

The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places, from New Mexico, and Tennessee, to Vermont, and Fernandina on the Florida coast. More than 3 million Americans fought in this war, and over 650,000 men died.

The War of 1812

Welcome to Fort Erie and

The War of 1812

Every August on the 2nd weekend, the War of 1812 is re-lived where the most bloody Siege of Fort Erie took place on August 15, 1814.
Just concluding its 19th year, this battle re-enactment has attracted over 600 participants to relive the event over a two day period. Pyrotechnics, day and night battle scenes, live demonstrations have all enhanced this event.

The setting begins with the capture and occupation of the Fort by the invading American troops. The battle sorties are highlighted by a vigorous display of actual musket and cannon fire from both sides culminating with the destructive explosion that originally destroyed about 25% of the Fort. The special effects to simulate this disastrous battle for the British Forces and the Fort is one that all spectators will never forget.
