I live in Los Feliz, one of Los Angeles' GREAT neighborhoods with my wife Donna Jean, and our 3 dogs, Buddy, Abby and Uma, and our pet Caique, Zach. We met with some of our neighbors (Monique Frise, John & Cathryne Macievic and their daughter Lauren) just last nigh
(March 25,2010)t to plan a BLOCK PARTY for this coming summer.

Living and working in our neighborhood is such a wonderful experience! We live at the foot of GRIFFITH PARK, a great urban wilderness, where we can take an afternoon hike with the dogs, visit the Greek Theater, explore the universe at the G.P. Observatory or have a Sunday picnic in Fern Glen (that's just for starters).

Our office is just a 1/2 mile away, but usually we prefer to work at home. We are fortunate to live in a historic old Spanish Revival home, the Beaton House, once the home of Fred and Ron Beaton--the brothers who at one time owned and operated Glendale's KIEV talk radio station.

A few years ago, we attended a New Year's Eve Party in Silver Lake, hosted by Dave Keitel and Shelley Marks. Our Council Member Tom LaBonge was there, and in conversation, we mentioned that we had recently moved to Los Feliz. Since Tom knows just about everything there is to know about the neighborhood, we described the house and location, and, to our amazement Tom responded, "Oh, you live in the BEATON HOUSE; I used to go swimming there when I was a kid."
