Interesting People
This site grew out of an idea for a series of profiles of interesting people who are singled out by other interesting people for recognition. It comes from questioning what would happen if every interesting person I met would share with me another interesting person -- where it might ultimately lead. That's what this site hopes to find out.

It starts with an article I wrote while in college about one of the most interesting people I have been fortunate enough to meet. It was a class project, and the article was not published -- until now.
Fred Birchmore
After spending only a short time in his presence, the common conclusion is that Fred Birchmore is a bit unusual. Fred starts out each morning by standing on his head. While in that position, he moves and kicks his legs around to get a complete workout. Although this is part of his morning routine, Fred has been known to stand on his head and sing for the entertainment of schoolchildren. For the 86-year-old, this feat is commonplace when compared to traveling around the world. All the way around the world. On a bicycle. (click here for more)
