Ben Chomicki:  

Crappiest year in a long time. Mom died in December (Covid) and the most important person in my life Shari (nee Champagne, from South Milwaukee) my loving wife) passed away in February after 30 perfect years together and my truck was totaled while parked on the street at work by a little pink car that drove headfirst into it's back end. But life goes on... a wise man once observed that when you discover gratitude, happiness will follow naturally. And that also includes gratitude for all the things one has lost in life...(082821) Hope all is well for those who I hung with!! After some soul searching, returned to college and received my Masters early in the new millennium and am now proudly serving our Veterans offering Clinical Mental Health services at the Milwaukee VA.. Music still occupies a pretty large amount of my free time...attend most of the record and music conventions at Serb Hall on a regular basis...right now I'm listening to the album "Hope" by Klaatu, which I used to listen to on my old 8-Track until I wore it out in High School... It's STILL one of my top 10 Desert Island Discs!! Pretty much tuned into listening to everything from pop to jazz to classical....Expand for more
