Pass It On

I grew up in Oak Ridge, TN. when Kennedy was President, Martin Luther King was alive, gas was cheap, you got 3 channels on TV, and a vinyl record wasn't a collectable item.

I was extremely shy in my youth and most people saw me as being a "quiet, funny and likeable kid". I have always had a love for the arts and can't remember not drawing or being creative. I remember my kindergarten teacher from Scarboro Elementary School being amazed by my ability to draw even before I could really write. But it was my English teacher from Jefferson Jr. High (Ms. Nolan) who thought I had a talent for writing. She wrote me a note back in 1969 expressing her view on my writing abilities and planted a seed that stayed with me about writing a book of poetry. Since then, I have written 2 children's book called "My Little Red Book" and "My Little Green Book" (both written and illustrated by me), and took part in a book project of 39 other writers called "Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Lives: Defining Moments".

I have always had a great love for people and understanding human behavior. I love connecting with people. My sense of humor and how I see life has always made me different from those around me, which I know I got from my mom. She was well-known for being a person who really lived, loved, and laughed no matter how bad the situation was in life. I, too, tend to be the same way.
