On Wednesday, May 2, 2007, I was a featured on WTNH (ABC) News Channel 8. See the TWO YouTube clips below to watch the morning, and then afternoon broadcasts. See my web site Home Page to watch the video. On Saturday, February 8, 2003, One of my Valentine's Day puzzles was featured on "The Early Show" on CBS TV, and broadcast Nationwide. The show had a 5 minute segment on "Unique Valentines Day Gift Ideas". My puzzle was featured in the "personalized" part of the segment of the story. The puzzle displayed was made from a photo of the Show's host and her husband, which was then surrounded by a heart shaped arrangement of roses, and cut into approximately 80 pieces. I was featured on PBS-TV Affiliate CP-TV in November, 2002 The show title" Positively Connecticut" hosted by Diane Smith, did a 6 minute segment on my story, and featured a number of my hand crafted wooden puzzles.
