I was raised on a farm, and received a fairly good high school education there. I grew up, traveling during the summer months, doing farm work with my family. Each summer I and my family traveled from western Oklahoma and the panhandle of Texas, to Canada, following the ripening wheat. This gave me somewhat worldly ways for a high school student. I developed a taste for travel and adventure. After several colleges I got a degree and became a Biomedical Electronics Technician. I worked at this until my retirement.view less
