Hello Daryl and Listees,

I can't remember a time in my life that I wasn't involved in multiple avocations and hobbies. Some have had legs and are still vying for the time to enjoy them...dozens of others have dropped by the side of the road in my seven decades of travel.

Flying ...I soloed 52 years ago and have ratings in single and multi-engine land and sea planes, helicopters and gliders.

Fencing...A Prevot d'Armes in Foil, Epee' and Saber. USFA National Medalist. FAI Referee. Fencing Master at the Adelson Prep School.

Auto Racing..SCCA Pro and IMCA Licenses. Competed in single seat sports racing and formula cars.

Motorcycles..Sold my Hyabusa..I'm too old for it. I know ride a Honda 750 Shadow Aero cruiser tricked out to look like a copsicle.

Hot Boats.. Just sold my last. A 21' Carrera jet with a Gale Banks built 454 cu.in. motor. Here's a link if you like fast boats.

Firearms...NRA Certified Instructor. Collect WW2 military and enjoy long range target shooting with my M70 .308 sniper.

Writing....Docu-dramas, short stories, screen treatments. Published. Writer's Guild member.

Art Photography...Published. Specialize in aerial documentation of contemporary earth sculptures..Smithson, Heizer, DeMaria, etal.

Collect..Objects of Virtue, contemporary art, wines, classical music recordings and my family history. Here's a link if you'd like to know how one becomes a Count. http://www.guidodeiro.com/

And that's it...too many notes.

Best regards to all having fun in life. You only go around once..so, make the best of it.

Count Deiro
IMCA 3536
