My family history, the story of my Mom and how she came to New York City from Eastern Europe in 1926, told in her own words (with a few explanatory notes from me) on an old cassette tape that my nephew Jim found in an old file. Hope you like it. 

My Federal Regulatory Flowchart Poster, published by TheCapitol.net, shows the spaghetti-like complexity of the process by which US government agencies make real-world decisions, highlighting where each player's role in the process.  Ideal of training and classrooms.
