OK folks,

I really have enjoyed the cross-section of humanity
that this thread has revealed. So, I'll just jump in
with my little bio. Don't get bored!

Name:Steve Suprata (Syncrosteve)

DOB: September 13, 1956

My father was born in Bali, Indonesia. My mother  from
Upstate NY. Lorena's Mother from Guatemala, her dad
from N.C. Other nationalities mixed in somewhere on
both sides.

Married to wonderful Lorena for 4 years. ( how did I
ever get so fortunate!)

Just had a baby - Tessa Isabela 6 months old. WOW!
daddyhood is the A++ of experiences!! I know 44 is a
little late to start a family, but I had to go through
a 22 year practice marriage in order to get to the
real one. Just wish I'd learned a bit more...

Live in Wheaton, MD just N of Wash., D.C.
Born in DeeCee and moved to MD early on.

Work for the local county Highway Dept. as a Program
Manager ( fleet manager, training coordinator, some
other stuff). Before that supervised a bunch of Hwy
inspectors. Been in the Montgomery County Gummint
since high school. Ready for a move. If anyone knows
of a job along those lines near the beaches in Florida
just let me know!

I enjoy cultural stuff like all the museums in
Washington, theater, classical, rock, Latin music. I'm
a history and science buff so having all those museums
close by is great.

Love bikes. Off road, on road and especially Harleys!
Had 2 - an 85 FXR Low Glide and later an 87 FLHS
Electraglide Sport. The most fun on two wheels! Didn't
go fast, but sure could go LONG. Did 500 mi one day on
a trip through New England. Fun, Fun, Fun. Would have
driven more but my buddy on his Honda was saddle sore.

I enjoy reading SF and SF movies.But I especially
enjoy reading the Bible and seeing how science and
archeology confirm Bible subjects.

Oh yeah, VW's: Currently my daily driver is an 86
Syncro Westy "Izzie" (wife wouldn't let me nickname
the baby that)
Previous VW's:86 Syncro GL, 77 Westy, 76 Loaf, 70
Westy, 72 Ghia, 85 Fox, 69 Convertible, 68 Bug

Other cars:Wife's-2000 Mercury Sable
previous:96 Nissan Altima, 92 Mercury Capri Xr2 Turbo,
95 GMC Pickup, 87 Mercury,90 Nissan 4x4 PU, 82 T-Bird
Turbo Coupe, 69 Jeep 4x4 PU, 68 T-Bird, 82 Dodge
Challenger, 66 Buick Le Sabre, 41 Ford GPW(Jeep) (Ford
designed the JEEP before Willys won the gov contract
and produced Ford's design. Ford later got to build
some), 42 Willys Jeep.

So there-still awake?
