The Berg Family Page

Welcome! Thank you for visiting our home page. My name is Erik Berg and I play the violin with the Naples Philharmonic.  Have you ever heard of Naples, Florida?  My wife, Natalie, plays the trumpet with the Naples Philharmonic. We have been in Naples since 1990. We have two children now, Elizabeth and Jonah.

 

Living in Naples, we need to keep track of potential hurricanes very closely.  Here are Erik's two favorite sites for hurricane information (not U of M):

The National Weather Service: National Hurricane Center tropical prediction center

The South Florida Water Management District's latest hurricane model page

Barometer Bob's Hurricane Hollow page.  Select your storm and click on the "NHC Model Guidance Suite" link.

 

We really appreciate the Naples Freenet.  If you live in the Naples area and use the internet (woof!), you need to look at this.  It's a really excellent service.


    More updates with pictures of the kids.

Here is Elizabeth's picture page.

Here is Jonah's picture page.


Erik's Dad, Dr. Richard Berg, is head of the University of Maryland's Physics Lecture-Demonstration Facility.  If you're interested in Physics, he has a collection of over 1400 demonstrations used in Physics classes.  There's even a Physics Question of the Week and the annual Physics Olympics competition (event pictures).  He's always talking about how Physics is Phun.  Hmmm. . . .

Erik's brother, Dwight Berg, works for Public Economics and New Schools in Virginia.  Nice logo!  Among other things, he builds charter schools.


It's difficult keeping track of the thousands of people visiting the web site, but my best guess is that there have been people that have visited.

This page is definitely STILL under construction, and will probably be for a long time.  Kind of like the road construction going on in Collier County.

Please e-mail me with any ideas for the page!
