John D. Loyd Personal Page

Home Page

Stats, records, photos of my intramural and city league teams. Mostly named Underdogs, but have also named my teams Black Knights. When I played for All Your Bases, Oakwood and Mark's Midtown I kept stats which are on the the Underdog page.

Books & Magazines I'm a big fan of Science Fiction. I have subscriptions to Analog and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. My favorite authors include: Gould, Asaro, Simak, Bujold, Zahn, Dickson, Heinlein, Asimov, Herbert, Silverberg, Bova, Steele, and Card. Each is well represented in my book collection. Mystery stories have their appeal as well. My collection of EQMM goes from 1955-2000.

I do a book review after I read a book and post it to my blog, Goodreads and Shelfari.

Vacation Photo Galleries

I stopped doing one for every trip. There are some photos in Facebook.

I was born in Ann Arbor and have lived here all my life, except for the two years that I spent in the Army. In the second grade I made up mind that I was going to Michigan, that is if I didn't quit elementary school. Turned out that I didn't drop out of elementary school and I did eventually graduate from the University of Michigan College of Engineering. You know how most kids leave their parents to go off to college. Rhetorical. My case was different, I stayed and my parents moved 800 miles away.

I have a brother and two sisters. Nancy has one child and lives in Florida. Henry has a wife and three children, he retired from the Post Office and runs marathons. Henry got me to run the 1994 Detroit Free Press Marathon. I finished (4:13), but I think that was my last one, it takes more training time than I am willing to put in. Marilyn used to deliver mail and has also retired from the post office. Check out my friend Mark Taylor's web page who I met when we both worked at McDonald's.

I've been known to make cookies.
