I was born in Minnesota on February 1, 1946. When I was eight my family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where my folks had grown up. I went to Will Rogers High School and was a National Merit Finalist. Nonetheless, I never finished four-year college because I became a hippie and lived in the Haight-Ashbury during the "golden years" and then on a commune in Sonoma County for two and a half years. After I had a daughter with my first wife I "settled down" to a life as first an office worker, then an accounting technician, and finally an Oracle database programmer. I am now retired living in Vancouver, WA.I've learned quite a bit about early American History while researching my family tree.
