Donald “Braveheart” Stewart – Feature Boxing Writer – Scotland
Donald “Braveheart” Stewart is a proud Scot who was introduced to boxing through hearing Ali’s fights on the radio or watching the black and white image on the black and white TV in the front room. Since then he has continued to admire and watch all those who put on glove and dance round small halls and arenas whilst lifting a pen on occasion to share his awe in wonder.
That includes being published in the UK with such well known sights as Talking Knockouts and now Talking Baws. His football columns have been seen in Scotzine and Last Ditch Tackle. Being old he claims to know a lot and have many memories that old age has yet to wipe clean. With a healthy interest in football (the original kind with a spherical ball and a world cup) and an unhealthy interest in his hometown team, Ayr United, Donald also is a theater reviewer who was once something big in theater in Scotland.

Geoffrey Huchel – Feature Entertainment Writer – Massachusetts
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Geoffrey Huchel is the proud dad to a teenage son, whom he describes as an intelligent and talented young man with a bright future ahead of him. Mr. Huchel devotes most of his time taking care of others, but he makes sure he finds time for what he’s truly passionate about. He considers himself a pop culture enthusiast, who from a young age has loved the arts. Besides music and television, movies are what Geoffrey finds the most joy in as he explains: “For two hours you can escape from the real world and become part of the lives of these characters as though you are right there with them, feeling what they feel whether its happiness, sadness, fear…”
Although he enjoys all genres, he gravitates toward horror and mystery. He also appreciates the films from Hollywood’s Golden Age and at times wishes he could have been around during that period to appreciate them in real time. In addition to spending time with his family and close friends, he can be found writing children’s books, short stories and screenplays. Geoffrey recently became a published children’s book author. You can order his book HERE.

It was in the Neolithic Era that the Doctor became renowned for expertise in Trephination. After so much time in practice, Doctor Curmudgeon® is now cranky and has rightfully earned the honorific of Doctor Curmudgeon®
Doctor Curmudgeon® has no idea of what will appear in this space. It depends on the Good Doctor’s mood and whatever shamans. Physicians, literary, political or philosophical figures (living or dead) are channeled at the moment.
Her undergraduate years were completed at the University of Chicago, where she was an Early Entrant.
The Chandler Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky at the University of Kentucky handed over her medical degree and gave her further training.
She has served on too many to count hospital committees, is in private practice with her husband, Dr.Eugene Eisman, MD FACP, an internist-cardiologist, and has been named a Distinguished Practitioner in the National Academies of Practice.
Having been an Army wife, she has great respect for all those who serve and have served.
