Q: Your most memorable or favorite "15 minutes of fame" in the NYREJ:
A: My most memorable NYREJ moment was in 1996 when I got engaged to my lovely wife, Sondra on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France and the NYREJ reporter was so intrigued by the story that he put a great photo us together in the paper. I still have the clipping, had it framed and it hangs proudly on the wall of my home where my five boys Kyle, Tyler, Hunter, Chase and Blake all get to see it everyday!
