tinwhistler (Ozzie Maland)

A page from the AUE photo gallery.

My name is Ozzie Maland. You might wonder about my user handle, "tinwhistler."  It is my way of identifying with the narrator in this verse:

Now I am a tin whistle
Through which God blows,
And I wish to God I were a trumpet
-- But why, God only knows.
[Sir J. C. Squire, quoted at p. 238 in What Cheer by David McCord (Coward McKann New York 1945)] 

I was a lawyer in the Chicago area before I moved to San Diego in 1990.
