I was in the third group of school kids from Jean Sheppard's A Christmas Story (Bullies, Toadies, and nameless victims), disliked having to do research and/or book reports, and really hated any math course. Now I find research much more interesting, probably because I am not forced to do it, but still avoid math if at all possible. I also love going to historical sites and into old buildings when I get the chance -- it brings me a little closer to the past. It's really amazing to stand in a spot and think that a hundred or a thousand years ago a living, breathing person was standing in that same spot.
I would like to see the Fred Saberhagen "Swords" series of books and a small sci-fi novel called Derelict by Robert L. Hovorka, Jr. made into movies. I would like to learn to read and speak Latin, live in the desert, write books and do some acting. I think we also need to bring back medieval forms of torture and punishment to get crime and violence in this country under control.
Why did I become involved in the RMG? I started this site because I felt the need to put things right. Comes from being O/C I suppose, and this is one argument I thought I could win -- after I made sure I was right in the first place by doing the research. Plus, my delusions of grandeur made me believe that once I put the info out, everyone would stand up and say, "By golly, you're right! We can't celebrate the millennium until 2001!" Then I woke up. I just needed to put the truth out there. We're living in a world that is too PC, and the truth and knowledge are taking second seats to the attitude that is taking over society -- I thought the "Me" attitude died with the 80's, but it apparantly just modified itself for the 90's and beyond. Now it's the "Just Do It" attitude.
I never really thought the group would become this popular -- or notorious. Actually, all this attention about the group and the millennium in general just amazes me. It's just becoming overkill, and I have to laugh at how much attention the RMG has gotten since we began. But I would much rather just have people acknowledge the truth and let any mention of the RMG come second. We're really just an unimportant collection of people with common goals -- the ideals we strive for are much more important than the entity itself. Let's make the message of Truth, Knowledge, and Peace more important than the messenger.

I graduated from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. I enjoy dancing at a local instructional school where I participate in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and Scottish Highland dancings. In the 1999 recital I danced the role of the cowardly lion and in 2000 danced the part of the Autumn Fairy in "Cinderella." I also enjoy drama and recently appeared in William Mastrisimone's anti-violence play, "Bang, Bang, You're Dead." I was the Music Teacher and Co-ordinator for the last two years at the Grade Schools located on McGuire Air Force Base in NJ.
I would either like to go into law, history, or acting. I became involved in the RMG because I graduated from High School in 2001 and was sick and tired of hearing the class of 2000 always being called the "Millennium Class." Plus, what I am going to school for if not to learn and increase my knowledge?
