He chose the field of writing for live theatre, because of his admiration for live performances and their writers. He was in his late sixties when he began and discovered a hidden talent that he didn’t realize he had. Since, he had written two movies, <EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Shanghai Journey,</SPAN></EM> and <EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Murrow’s Children</SPAN></EM>, which had consideration for production. </SPAN></DIV>
