Graduating from high school in 1959, by the skin of my teeth, and in 1960, enlisted in the United States Army, honorably discharged in 1963. Using the G.I. Bill, I earned my bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State University. In 1995, I found, a little bit late in life, my true love and best friend.
There have been so many different jobs that I’ve worked at that I can barely remember them all. Didn't matter to me much what the job was. I did it with a will and felt lucky to have it. I don't remember every job, but I do remember every dog that I was lucky enough to have come into my life.
Currently I live in a rural community on about a dozen acres. Keeps me busy taking care of the place and cleaning up after what was a trash-littered eyesore. It is now a healthy, growing, and productive habitat, and I'm not done yet. Life is such a joy and there’s so much beauty in it all. I'm going to try to live to be at least 120 years old or die trying. It's all there to love and enjoy. I'm not much of a churchgoer as my church is around me 24/7. We're all part of all of it—live it and love it, it’s all good.view less
