    newHickLogoThank you to Kenneth Arnold, Class of 1965, for contacting us. Although the biography was hidden on the website, we thought our readers would like to read about The Dynamics, so we are featuring it here this month. We have a new article from Dr. Kumpikas and a new addition to Ron Wencer's Ancient Hixtory: an article about Leon Galloway! The Hicksville Gregory Museum is in financial distress. Thank you to Ryan Vicino for the article and information about how you can help.  We are happy our readers are using the Member Comments, and they appear at the end of this month's newsletter.  When you are logged into the site, scroll to the bottom of an article and leave us a comment!

In high school, I was known as Louie. Those were the days when I was a drummer named Louie.

After high school, I went to Brooklyn Polytech for nearly two years. I had gotten married and the first wife and I had two children. That marriage ended in divorce I married a second time and that, too, ended in divorce. I am the proud grandparent of six wonderful grandkids.

I got involved in carpentry and have been a cabinetmaker since 1975.

I've always been self employed and owned a framing store and a head shop in Hicksville .

I still have the wonderment of a child and love to learn.

For the most part, my life has been fun. I actually had my picture in the Enquirer once upon a time.

About ten years ago, I met Linda Pravata. Our meeting was by chance through a business negotiation. We grew very fond of each other and we decided to get married finally back in June of 2007.

I enjoy music and art and enjoy good food. I have a special interest in boating and participate at any opportunity.

If I had it to do over again, I would have tried to fine "me" sooner. I have found happiness and for that, I'm very grateful.

As far as a profession, I love my carpentry but I probably should have been a teacher.

Also, I would love to know what it feels like to be a Yankee fan???
