We moved, to Columbus, Georgia; before becoming 1 yr. old. Mine are career military people. Relocating for several years, in Deutschland; I found “my voice.” My studies were of German and English. I became fluent, in reading and writing both. Often, I went, to the high mountains and learned, to yodel. My voice echoing was life changing! Back, to Georgia I enrolled, in 4th grade. I was interested, in the trumpet and was bought a new one. Military duty assigned me, to Texas and Georgia as an Emergency Room Technician and bugler. Remaining, in Tokyo, Japan, I was considered the first person of color, to be seen regularly; in multimedia, modeling, T.V. ads; newspapers etc. (1978)-Eddie Arab Modeling Agency and Hokko Enterprises and today Hylton Casting; ATL.view less
