Carlton brings technical telecommunications experience as well as experience in
producing, writing and directing live stage productions broadcast on both radio
and television.

A percussionist and tenor, Carlton has performed under conductors Kurt Hurbert
Adler (San Francisco Symphony); Mischa and Konstantine Bachalanikoff
(MGM/RKO); and Roger Wagner and Jester Hairston. He has traveled America,
Italy and Europe enjoying Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss, Schumann,
Rimsky-Korsikoff, Glinka and Verdi performed live. Playing base "pans" in Trinidad
and Tobago during Carnival is one the high points of his percussion performances.

He ocean races sailboats, is a HAM radio operator, drives off-road in a Hummer
H1 and is a National Hummer Club event manager. He was also first mate on the
square rigger "Argus" and gives talks on "Iron Men and Wooden Ships." Look for
him in uniform as a Motorman on the Astoria Waterfront Trolley.

As Coast Community Radio's backup engineer, Carlton assists during installation,
operation and maintenance of all the telecommunications devices, including the
transmitters, translators, production boards and satellite interconnections.

His engineering and project management has taken him all over the world for the
design and implementation of broadcast, telephone, television, radar,
navigational aids, meteorological devices, microwave, fiber-optics, satellite
uplinks, ground to air radio, two-way radio, high-powered long-range radio and
antenna farms.

Carlton writes: "I loved our city in California -- San Francisco! I commuted there
and watched many changes. Astoria is now our adopted city which is so very
much like the early San Francisco, yet has its very own unique characteristics,
history and people. The arts are well-represented and appreciated here. I am so
pleased to be a part of bringing them to those people who appreciate and
support it. My wife and I are having a blast here and truly enjoying the
acceptance we experience from our neighbors."
