I ended up at HHW, thanks to Liz Callaway in 2003. While I credit, and daily thank, BK for revving up my career, as his production schedule got heavier, I often turned him down because I was on another project. As a result, I missed completely the ugliness he was going through with the label that shall not be named, and when I finally heard about it, it was an an even uglier, and prejudiced, picture of the mess from the source of allegations who replaced BK.
So, since I didn't get my first computer until September 2001, I completely missed BK's website, but Liz told me that he had one, and as soon as our meeting was over, I came home, found HHW, lurked a bit, and sent BK an email. My memory is that it was around Thanksgiving, and I wished him a happy holiday. In his response, he asked me if I'd do an interview and i said yes and forgot about it. A few weeks later, the interview showed up, and I answered all of the questions. When the interview wwnt up on HHW, I lurked about out of curiosity to see what people would say. Very little was said about the interview, but I found that I really enjoyed relating with the DRs daily, and so, at some point in the spring of 2004, i joined HHW. I've had two periods where I was off the board for several months with poor health, August 2004 was the first, after I got back from a good job at Goodspeed to deal with a horrid abscess requiring surgery, a eighteen feet ofcollapsed bookcases needing repair and no air conditioning. I was in no mood to be social, and I would respond to BK's emails with "I'll be back when my mood improves." Shprtly after that, for reasons I don't remember now, there was an HHW get-together, with me on crutches, and DRS Noel(?), Ben, and td(?) at Barrymore's as I rcall. It's been too long now, but I feel the HHW clan has become a major part of my family.
