John's Official Biography

Living Arrangements:
At present John Valby lives in his suburban Buffalo, New York home with his wife and five children. He truly is a home body with a love for children.

Education:
While growing up in Rochester, New York Valby attended Catholic Schools. It is there that Sisters Edwina and Mary Leo taught him to play the piano. "Sister Mary Leo left the order," reports Valby.

He then went to Middlebury College in Vermont and later did some graduate work in Philosophy at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

The Military:
After Valby dropped out of graduate school he no longer had his student deferment, so he was drafted. Fortunately he spent his Army years in Fort Hood, Texas. Valby says he wasn't sent to Viet Nam because a superior officer liked him.

Sports:
Valby is an avid hockey and basketball player (non-contact, he's getting old). He also likes to watch football on television....in fact, he is reluctant to accept a job for Monday nights because he doesn't like to miss Monday Night Football. (P.S. Sundays too!!)

Other Stuff:
Valby likes vanilla ice cream but if you ask him if he likes asparagus he will want to know if he could "put cheese sauce on that?"

Besides being a television sports nut he insists on watching the local and national news every night.

A devote reader with a great mind, he reads it once and it's going to be a limerick.

Thank you to John's manager for all the info!!!!
