Here are the Biographies! This is the special softbound copy -- the
hardbounds will not be availble for a while. :) I will tell you right
now that I hope that no one is omitted. I had trouble with my mailer
for a while, so some of your messages might be in some black hole right
now. If you sent a biography and it is not included in here then please
write me and let me know as soon as you can. I will be issuing updates
to the Who's Who list. This also goes for those of you who want to make
changes / corrections / deletions. I hope that this is informative and
helpful. Please also understand that you may be getting a call from a
desperate desktop publisher! :)
As is my standard practice, I have placed my editorial comments in
[square brackets]. Also notice that many of the Email addresses are
bitnet -- one easy way to tell is if the address does not contain any
periods (.). And last note -- if your first name is John, check at the
end of the list -- someone did not mention their lastname.
Enjoy! -- Geof

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I graduated in sociology in 1985. In 1989 I started a course in order
to get a master degree on Urban Planning but after I got acquainted
with Ventura Publisher I started working with DTP, first only to
do my academic work but I got more and more involved with the whole
DTP stuff and now I decided to give up Urban Planning and work as
a DTP professional. I use PM 4.0 in a 386 SX PC compatible which
I myself have "assembled". I'm very interested in font manipulation
and in importing different graphic formats in PageMaker.

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm an engineer by training, but my main job is supporting a three
campus university system in the area of electronic imaging which
includes everything from simple laser prints from DTP software to
high-resolution stereoscopic lenticular prints from MRI data. Have
some 10 years experience in computing with a little more than 5 years
in computer graphics.
I am generally found on weekends breaking my back around our new house
or running a consulting business with my father-in-law (hence my often
wordy answers to simple questions). I'm an avid tennis player and
golfer when I'm not goofing off with my two sons (2, and 4) (with #3
on the way).
[There's a lot more to this Alabaman than he mentions -- I have a
saying that if you do not know the answer, ask Jeff. And this
includes philosophy, overhead smashes, relationships, etc... And
I would love to see anyone try to win in a game of wit with Jeff!]

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a college degree in business, trained basically to be an
executive secretary. However, once I met my first word processor I
fell in love (figuratively) and forgot about being a secretary. For
the last fifteen years I've worked at the University of Kansas,
spending the last eight years doing my version of DTP with WordPerfect
on an XT. I eventually inherited a 386 and took a class in PageMaker.
However, after eight years in an unhappy professional relationship I
have now taken a different position at KU that is basically
secretarial. So I am now a DTP-wanna-be trying to keep up those
skills that I've learned, but not using now. I'm hoping that within a
couple of years I will be able to find a job in publishing or anywhere
I can use PM or some other DTP program. I have a 386SX at home with
PM 4.0 and work on a Mac IIx with PM 4.2 available, so I am able to
work on my own to keep up my skills. I also have a laser printer and
take on freelance work as it comes. Several years ago I did eight
issues of a national journal out of my home and I've done work on
several other publications.

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Following a wide-ranging career in R&D, journalism, software
publishing, PR and, finally, running my own consultancy business, I'm
now working for SCO as their internal DTP specialist.
Currently we use troff as our main publishing tool across all three
sites with supporting material being generated using a variety of DTP
tools such as PageMaker, Ventura, CorelDraw, etc, etc. Our medium term
goal is to migrate to a single graphical publishing tool that supports
SGML and runs under Unix.
In my private capacity I still actively support a number of ex-clients
- most of whom use PageMaker - and maintain a wide contact base both
within the industry and its service sector here in the UK. (I founded
the UK PageMaker users group PMUG but left after various disagreements
with Aldus! Independence has its price...)

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Spring 1991, while finishing up my studies for my B.S. degree,
I took a dtp class. The software we used was PM on the IBM. The
instructor often mentioned how much easier he felt it is to do dtp on
a MAC, As I have both platforms at my office desk, I ordered PM for
my MAC and immediately put it to use. I soon was able to get a lot
of practice using PM as I had one son get married in summer 1991 and
one in fall 1991. I did the programs for each wedding, the
invitations to the rehearsal dinners, and the place cards for the
rehearsal dinners among other things. The project for my class had
been to produce a four-page newsletter and my son that married in July
had suggested I do it about his wedding. It turned out so well that
we gave a copy to everyone attending the Rehearsal Dinner. They all
thought it was a fun idea.
Work-wise, I use PM to put out our newsletter "NetWorkings", a
handbook for our first aide staff, a guide to computing in the
College for faculty and although I have PrintShop, I often do signs
and fliers in PM. I also assist our faculty and Ph.D. students by
designing their research survey instruments.

computing labs. I trained for a year and a half at the Advanced Center
for Computer Art and Design in Columbus, OH (Ohio State UNiv. also got
my MFA there.). I was turned on to 2 and 3D computer graphics there
and saw their application as a tool for theatre design. Once I started
using computers I realized that page layout and design was an area
that I could also use. Basically self taught and always hungry for
knowledge about type design and DTP related items.
I also edit a newletter/journal that combines theatre and computers.
It is called MicroTheatre.

I am a single Mom who has raised 5 kids while going to school and
building a successful career. After about 10 years in typesetting
(during which time I integrated a TRS Model I and a typesetter using
Scripsit and Basic language programming to communicate between the
systems [beginning DTP in about 1976...]), I went back to school for
a Master's degree in computer science. In 1986 I achieved that aim and
went out to make my millions. My first job out was as consultant with
a printing firm installing a Linotronic 300, wanting to network PCs
and Macs with the Lino. I was able to successfully typeset from all
platforms (lots of pioneer stuff here). For the past four years I
have have been variously, publications editor, technical editor, DTP
trainer, consultant, and microcomputing consultant with California
State University, Chico. I also teach vocational education classes at
night in Desktop Publishing. The class includes instruction in
proofreading, design, typography, computer literacy, WordPerfect,

catalogs and brochures for the hospital and college. In December 1991,
I again changed jobs, and moved over to the Center for Information
Technology, where I get to play with computers till my heart's content.
I am still a die-hard PageMaker fan from my Public Relations days and
still produce brochures for CIT, using my old buddy. I could be very
prejudiced though, because it's a long way from producing brochures
on an IBM Mag Card Composer, which I used in my Continuing Education
days. I remember those paste-up days fondly, though not so fondly
that I would give up PageMaker. I am a self-taught PageMaker user
and have taught a few small classes.

I consider myself to be a self-taught Desktop Publisher - I guess most
of us do - having gotten my BA in French Lit and then having to find a
job. I love computers and games (am co-owner of a games store -
Fun-N-Games in Blacksburg, VA). My goal in life is to be a writer and
I love all animals (typical, huh?). P.S. I love getting E-Mail, but
I'm not very good at answering it every day.

Biography
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a computer programmer at Alderson-Broaddus college. My wife has
a DTP and print shop in this rural town. She uses PM and WordPerfect
as well as Corel Draw. Mostly she prints brochures, letterheads,
envelopes, labels, books, booklets, business cards, etc. Color
projects and many larger projects we get printed at a local print shop
where we get a discount. She also sells pencils, pens, hats, T-shirts,
knapkins, greeting cards, advertising and campaign buttons, jackets,
etc. She does at least some computer design work on each of these
projects. The greeting cards she designs, folds, shrink wraps, and
local stores sell on consignment. The buttons she designs in Corel
Draw, prints on either our laser or our Paint Jet Plus, then she cuts
them out and puts them together using the Badge-A-Minute machines.
Drema designs work for T-shirts, knapkins, hats, etc. and gets a
discount at places that do the rest. The pens and pencils she just
collects the orders and collects 10% from the producer.
I program in PostScript sometimes to help Drema with projects where
she cannot figure out how to get a particular effect. Also, I have
written several programs including a cross word puzzle generator
which produces puzzles in PostScript from a list of words the user
enters in a text file. I have used this program to produce a cross
word puzzle book of Civil War puzzles which we have sold about 150
copies. Also I used it to product Cross word puzzles for the local
newspaper in exchange for some free advertising space for Drema's
company. So I suppose like most rural businesses we try to take on
any job that comes along to pay our bills and raise our kids.

To paraphrase General Robert E. Lee, I am a Virginian first, and
American second. Right now, though, I am in the middle of rural
Indiana. As for work experience, I just ended a great job doing
PostScript and Windows programming, before that, I was a systems
programmer maintaining a Novell microcomputer lab system. Right now
I am researching a distributed system for MS Windows and doing
anything I can to survive grad school. With the way things are,
having daylight savings is a major event -- I search for every
minute I can find.
I love kites, blow pops, 486-33s with 17" monitors, music (500
albums and going), windows, mtn. bikes, shooting pool, philosophy,
dance, tennis, people and writing. Any ideas about good jobs? :-)

I am new to this type of communication and have not yet ventured to

I have taught myself what I know about computers and DTP (which seems
to be true of many in the group). I do DTP mostly for friends, and
friends of friends, and friends' business friends, etc. (on the side
in other words, mostly for free because I like to do it - but also to
build up a rep for when I do start trying to make a living at it), and
also in trade for bike parts (to help keep my son competitive at
bmxing). I also do flyers, newsletter, ads, etc. for the bmx club as
a volunteer.
