and best friend of 40 years, and our toy poodle, Ginger.I lose all domestic votes 2 to 1. Writing
has been a life-long interest ever since, as punishment for being
mischievous, I was thrust into a creative writing class. I've
never hesitated to be mischievous again.
Four years in the
Security Service of the Air Force serving fifteen months in the Philippines and
a short stint in Viet Nam in 1965 and 1966 as a linguist, fluent in

various management positions with the A. E. Staley Mfg. Co.,
Then I was promoted to cobbler, owning a shoe
