Welcome -

Wild mustangs and buffalo still roam America's deserts, desolate canyons and plains. Wild they may be, gentle they are, unless threatened. Living in Moab, Utah, allowed me to get close with the wild that remains. After two years of roaming the Colorado Plateau, that endless road brought me back to my Holladay home; white-line fever has subsided, but immunity has no expiration date. Future vaccinations to hold back the road fever may be required.
I thank Ernest Hemingway for: "What Reward, without Risk?" I thank Edward Abbey reinforcing the rebel spirit: "Resist Much, Obey Little". I thank Sammy Freeman and Adnan Khashoggi for lessons and guidance regarding family and business. They have provided me wisdoms utilized throughout my life. Never a Dull Moment, a philosophy to which I shall always adhere. I cannot imagine life without challenges, learning, risk, growth and staying busy.
Chronicling The Wild that Remains is one reason for taking risks. It allows me to experience, enjoy and share the wonders of the remaining wild open spaces with those unable to roam America's wild places. Let these photos and words on this site take you there.

On Dec. 11, 1981, when America's biggest Ballroom was being turned into a Parking Lot, I promoted the Farewell Party for the world-renown concert venue, the Terrace Ballroom. 'A Farewell to the Terrace' was the Queen's last event.
Salt Lake City architect, Peter Emerson, created the poster.
Claudia Appling, aka Montana Rose, opened the show with Joni Mitchell's Yellow Taxi; "They took Paradise and put up a Parking Lot." Cow Jazz played one hell of a concert and fa great time was had by all.

The Terrace Ballroom's Curtain Call -
EAS is a life-saving technology I invented and funded with promises from the U.S. DOT of a grant. When the Sec. of Transportation was changed, all those promises left with him, along with the interest in this technology.
I was going to delete this information but felt it significant enough to leave in place. The auto industry can do this with simple programming now and tying a signal from an emergency vehicle to an alert over the audio system.
