My sister Nikki, who majored in Theatre and Communications in college, has left the legal profession to return to more creative pursuits (and, boy, am I thrilled!). You can find her talented work at the following places on the World Wide Web.

• Visit Nikki Saco Voice Production - That Stylish Comfort Voice™. Nikki specializes in web voice overs, presentations, tutorials, and any narration requiring an all-in-one voice artist and sound engineer for complete voice-music mixes. She has her own studio, production music and sound effects library.
• Visit AddMultimedia.com - Web Content Development and Logo Designs to see what she’s doing with flash to add sound and motion to web sites and professional presentations
• We’ve also put together a site called Duets Blog, mostly for chatting about Lucy Lawless on Celebrity Duets, but we’re posting some music videos and other fun stuff there, too.

John Collins, at St. Lawrence University, teacher, musician, and peace activist
