Hi, my name is Bob Ballard, and welcome to my web page - here are some truly fascinating facts about me!
At Quinnipiac, I am a History major, and also a Journalism minor. At this school, I work at the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. In addition, I have been on the school newspaper, the QU Chronicle, since freshman year.
Aside from the Polling Institute, I am a professional writer for Able Newspaper. In 2004, I volounteered for Howard Dean's political campaign.
In the summer of 2004, I interned at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in lower Manhattan.
I enjoy playing chess
Here is a picture of me playing chess as a kid in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village Park.
My first Bikeathon was interesting because it was a bikeathon for cerebral palsy and I was probably only rider that day with C.P.
The second time, the doctors wanted me to be as strong in my legs as possible to prepare for my surgery. I certainely succeeded in that. Just two days before my surgery I did a Tour de Cure bike ride for the American Diabetes Association. This would be my second time riding, and I had not done the first one for a whole year. Each time I do it I feel really good, especially because the doctors told me at a young age I would never ride a bike. For instance, the first time, I biked 15 miles and it was much easier. I rode in a small circle around Central Park which was about 5 miles, three times each with long breaks in between. The last time it was in Riverhead and was about 9 miles before a short break and than another 6 miles.
The third was the Discover Long Island Bike Tour 2000.
At the end of the 1999 school year and my sophmore year, I recieved class awards for Biology and and English.
I can be reached at Robert.Ballard@quinnipiac.edu, but in the meantime,
please come back soon and visit me. I have lots of great surprises in store.
