Manitoulin Island Radio ~ About The Founders

About 'The Founders'

The first thing that needs to be addressed is the Question, why the Icon for this particular
Web Page? The Answer is simply that the Icon Represents an Important Aspect of both
of our Personalities ~ We are Playful and Full-of-Curiosity regarding just About
Everything!! And, so, the Colored Pencils, Eraser and Cardstock seem to Capture this
Part of Us, and, moreover, to Suggest some of where the Idea for an Internet-Based Radio
'Station' likely came from!

If you find yourself in the presence of a Paper Plane
and you don't immediately begin to 'act-like-a-kid',
you have got a "maturity problem"!!! ~ UV Immanuele

And Speaking of Paper Stuff ..

Here is a Fun and Free Web Site!!

If you would like to see an Example ... Use the Link below

At heart, we are both Just Kids, who want to Explore Things in order to Learn, Meet
some New and Different People, and Along the Way Have Some Fun. We think that Our
Latest Adventure will likely afford Us Opportunities to Do All of These Things .. and
More!!!

We have been Residents of Manitoulin Island for over six years[since August of 1999],
having moved back to Ontario from British Columbia. To say that we enjoy living and
working here would be an Understatement!! We feel that our Home -'The Island' - is a
Special Place! For Us the Specialness has little to do with the People - although, as with
everywhere we have lived and worked, there are All Kinds of Special People Here! It is the
Natural Environment, however, that Attracted Us and Keeps Us Here.

The Photographs featured on All of the Pages of this Web Site are a Reflection of Our
Deep Attraction and Affection for 'The Island' - as of the writing of this text, we have
More Than 40,000 Digital Photographs of 'The Island', shot with several Cameras, over
a period of Three and One Half Years. We have driven well over 50,000 kilometers during
this time, in order to 'Capture' the Sights of Our Home, in its Incredible Variety and
Seasonal Splendour!!

Most of us have jobs that are too small for our spirits. ~ Louis Studs Terkel

ears/eyes' about the Icon and Such!?! We are Shelley LaFortune ~ the Photographer
behind the Cameras, and Joe Perticaro ~ the Computer-Guy in-front-of the Keyboard!!

We are the Co-Founders of
