Biography / Memorable Life Experiences: Do you know what happens if you didn't attend college in 1965? You got drafted. I started my real world education in the Army. I'm still learning today. I did have a daughter for almost 17 years, but she had a flea problem, as most cats do. When I was not at work, I was pursuing my interest mentioned above. These things were also my therapy. The winter of 1995/1996 finally did me in. I could no longer deal with the SNOW, and I made a vow to move. On the 10th of January, 2004 (6 degrees that early morning) I boarded a plane headed for Arizona. No more snow for me.
