I was Born November 20th 1948 in the State of Washington, USA on the banks of the Snake river. My Dad was in the Military and I grew up in South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Washington, California, and Arizona. I learned good things and bad things traveling from one school to the next. Making friends was a hard thing because it hurt to much when you left them behind. I learned to read the heck out of a road map. I loved military history and poetry. I graduated from High School in 1968 in Tucson Arizona. I worked in a local cement plant for 30 years before retiring in 2004. The poets that inspire me the most are Sara Teasdale, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Ella Wheeler Wilcox just to name a few.
