About Art

 Art is checking off items on his bucket list. He's visited 25 countries with his wife and kids.  His "done" list includes the Great Wall, Taj Majal, Tikal Mayan pyramids in Guatemala, Parthenon, Mycenae, Coliseum, Vatican, Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, and the Outer Hebrides. He's ridden the night train from Moscow to St Petersburg, visited all 8 Alaskan national parks on foot, dove the Caribbean, and caught a marlin in Puerto Rico.  He's seen grizzlies in Alaska up close, big horn sheep while hiking in the Rockies, elk while hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and alligators while canoeing the Okefenokee Swamp. He's also canoed the Boundary Waters, floated the Natal River in Gates of the Arctic,  rambled in the Himalayas, and  viewed  three 1-horned rhinos from the back of an elephant in West  Bengal.  He's been to the Super Bowl  and the Final Four (twice), watched cremations at dawn on the Ganges, and ridden around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 180 mph.   He saw Tiger Woods at St Andrews in 2000 during the Tiger Slam.  And yes, he was at Live Aid in Wembley Stadium in 1985.
