_______________

Unbelievable how time is flying by. I graduated from Robert Morris University, in 1982, with a B.S. in Accounting and Management. I fell into the insurance industry and have been here, for the past 21 years. The last 14 years, I have been the branch manager of Invesco Insurance Services, in the Forest Hills section, of Pittsburgh. In college, I met my sweetheart, Debbie and we were married, April 7, 1984. We have two beautiful children... Anthony(13) and Rachel(10). I think this is a wonderful website and will catch on quickly. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Updated 9/9/05: Forrest is unmarried and lives with his brother and family in Belle Vernon, PA. Forrest still loves nature and writes about it when he can. As you can see, his nature poetry can become rather complicated, but occasionally it gets a little bit funny. Who knows what's next...
