I left home at an early age. I had a lot of energy and craved adventure, so I joined the navy. After I got out, I moved around and got real good at Jitter-bug dancing. My and my buddy Pee-wee used to enter these big dance contests and would often win. I soon got into the retail business working for FW Woolworth and working my way up to management. The Company moved me to a small mining town in Arizona where I met the mother of my children and my wife of 23 years. Lily and I had three children, Lily-kay, Susie, and Bobby. I ran my own retail variety store in Miami, AZ for 18 years. Then Lily and I divorced and sold the business. I moved to Phoenix and worked in constuction for a while and taught Karate on the side. I was also very much into my Harley and ran around with a pretty rough crowd for a few years. Fortunately, it didn't take long to realize that life-style was taking me nowhere fast, so I settled down and got a job at a honda dealership where I met my current wife of nearly 20 years. A few years ago, my oldest daughter Lily-kay passed away from breast cancer at the age of 42. I miss her very much, but am happy to know that I will see her again someday. My other two children, Susie and Bobby are grown too and doing very well. Susie lives in Arizona and is an accountant. Bobby lives in Mexico and is a Hypnotherapist and Writer. I am now retired and enjoy spending my time reflecting and writing. I also like to volunteer at the local library and I am currently learning how to program computers. I am 77 years old, healthy, and I love life!
