Background
Born in Dallas, Texas, grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma until moving to California in the summer of 1965. Was raised in Clayton, California when it was primarily walnut groves and cattle or horse ranches. Graduated from Clayton Valley High School from the newly-opened Concord Pavilion. Married with one daughter and one granddaughter. My favorite activities are reading; walking the dog; gardening; hanging out with friends (both on-line and face-to-face); visiting Disneyland; and attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.
