Hello all . . . I was born two months before the assassination of President JF Kennedy (11/22/1963). Thus, as many who were around at that time, I know where I was, too. I was in a cradle beside the television. It was Phoenix, AZ and my mother had just given birth to me on September 28, 1963. As she mourned the announcement of the death of JFK, she cried. She looked over at me, a quiet, and usually content child and she saw tears streaming down the my face.

My writing talents began showing at a very young age . . . approximately at age 5. Since I had began reading Dr. Suess books, by myself, at age 2; it seemed appropriate I'd start writing.

My favorite television series was "Lassie" and would foretell of my love of dogs. My family, Mom, Dad, my younger cousin (we began raising him when he was 8-months-old in 1965) and myself. We lived out in the middle of the Arizona desert (Cave Creek) on a hill. We had a porch with a roof . . . and when my cousins visited, I made up episodes of "Lassie" for us to act out. My mother says there were original episodes and not from the actual series!

All I recall is that my mutt dog wouldn't do as 'Lassie' did and "go get help" . . . yet, if I lay down on the porch, he would run over and lick me! Thus, I was the director, star and writer!

I am published in a few places on-line and you can read my short story in the book, "More Random Acts of Kindness" by Conari Press, page 110-112.

You can also read articles on various websites . . . I will post them here as soon as I have the exact web addresses.
