Okay, here's a little bit about myself.
My name is Jorj Bauer (George F. Bauer, Jr. by birth, but Jorj has been my nickname for so long that I don't even think of myself as "George" any more). I work at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, department of Computer and Educational Technology Services (UPenn-SEAS-CETS), where I've been since December 1993. When this page was last updated (check the bottom of the page for the date), my job was Director of Networking for SEAS, as well as doing consulting work for ISC Network Engineering and Services (NES). Officially, I'm an "IT Director."
On December 16, 1995, I married Susan J. Talbutt; some of our pictures are online in my Trips section.
The picture to the right is of my mother, my (late) great uncle Joseph Milekof, and myself (quite a few years ago). Joe played, was concert master, and conducted on Vaudeville in New York and Philadelphia. He was quite a guy. My mom is a librarian for the Montgomery County Public Library, and, well, I gave up the violin after about 10 years.
Also pictured is my mother's side of my family: Ruth Miner (my Grandmother), Emanuel Mendelson (my Grandfather), Anne Mendelson (my Aunt), Scott Bauer (my brother), Jane Bauer (my mother), and in front, my wife (Susan J. Talbutt for those of you that haven't been paying attention). My cat is conspicuously absent from this picture; she's probably eating food instead of being photographed (as she usually is).
Ruth is an amazing woman: she's very active in trying to right the wrongs of the government and corporate America wherever they pop up. Emanuel was a wonderful Grandfather, and was the primary reason that I got interested in computers; he gave me Edmund Scientific kits for birthday and holiday presents as a child (along with old mechanical alarm clocks that I left in pieces all over my house). Anne is a freelance writer; she's currently writing cookbook reviews for Gourmet magazine, and is the author of Stand Facing the Stove. Scott still lives with my mother; I don't know how they put up with me when I was living there. ;)
When this picture was taken (November 1994, I believe), Sue and I were living happily (if not somewhat cramped) in our one bedroom apartment in Center City, on the 10th floor of an apartment building. We've since moved on (thankfully) to a great house in Wyncote, PA.
