How-doFolks

Me just curious what we all do for a living on this site. We all seem to be very down to Earth with lots of emotion for our lil' park in the woods.

My girlyfriend works for a printing company, she runs alot'a cutters & a die-cutter. I work at a auto detail shop cleaning interiors, been in the business since 1990.

How about ya all?

I work for a company called Damar.  We sell almost every kind of light bulb made.  We don't make them we just ship them out from our warehouse.  I work in the UPS department as the lead.

I'm a college student.

Seriously, though, I'm unemployed and want to work at a library til I'm able to work at SDC full-time.

I'm getting a Bachelors in Creative Writing, and I'm changing my minor from Folklore to Ozark Studies.

My plan is to hopefully become a bestselling author. And ironically enough, one of the characters in my work-in-progress trilogy is named Damar!

I might just have to read your book tinaalsgirl.  You might not remember this but we met you and tinman at sdc on the morning of sdc's birthday opening ceremony.  Tinman took a picture of us and posted it on his facebook  but of course he takes pictures of everything.

Junior

Following my 7 years at SDC as a food service guy, River Rat at the Float Trip, and as Junior Dugan at the Diving Bell...I finished college, had a 20 year career as a radio broadcaster as an announcer and news reporter. Since 2003, have been working in healthcare at a hospital.

     My claim to fame working at SDC: Some of the people I worked with in the entertainment end attended drama
                                                   classes at Southwest Missouri State University at Springfield, and either had
                                                   classes with, or had the same drama teachers as John Goodman (Roseanne)
                                                   Tess Harper (Golden Globe Winner) or Kathleen Turner (film actress)

    My claim to fame at college:         As I learned a few things from the people at SDC who studied with the stars
                                                   listed above or the people who trained with the same teachers, I took that
                                                   experience to college at Southeast Missouri State University at Cape
                                                   Girardeau where I had classes with my pal...who later forged a pretty
                                                   successful career as a stand up comic, TV and Film actor. He goes by the
                                                   stage name "Cedric the Entertainer."  Other classmates from SEMO went on
                                                   to work at CNN, CMT, and have had jobs on films in Hollywood. One guy that
                                                   was an underclassman became a local news and weather anchor and won
                                                   several emmys for work in the Washington DC area. He now works in St. Louis.

 I have been a volunteer / independent historian for Elmwood Cemetery in Kansas City, Mo. and am currently doing historical research independently. I have been fortunate to have support from family and my fiancee' that allowed me to do this. I have made many major historical finds for Jackson Co. Missouri and Kansas City as well (most went ignored because SOME people cant seem to look past the city forefathers and mayors and so forth)! I am now doing historical research for Benton Co. Arkansas. My main employment through the years has been warehouse/dock work.

Since you are doing historical research on Benton Co. AR I can highly reccommend books by J. Dickson Black, Phillip Steele, Fred Starr, and Vance Randolph. Shiloh Museum in Springdale, Rogers Museum, are good places to do research. Don't forget the special collections in UA/Fayetteville. Bella Vista, Pea Ridge, Lowell, Tontitown all have small local museums that might have some good stuff to look at if you can catch them open. If you want to purchase out of print books on Arkansas history, check out the Dickson Street Bookshop in Fayetteville, but bring your wallet and lots of money!
