1993 Edward J. Begley -- Revised: July 29, 2007

Now that I'm retired from my position as as Webmaster for the Northwest Division of the Marine Corps League, and several other non-profit, military veterans service organizations.

I enjoy exploring the Great Pacific Northwest, camping; handyman projects; ethnic cuisine; gardening, and a little fishing now and then.

In addition to the Marine Corps league, I support the Veterans Memorial Museum, Seattle Community Network, and Wikipedia.

For those who are easily confused, I am neither Ed Begley, Sr. (1901-1970), nor Ed Begley, Jr., Actor/Environmentalist.
