On That Windy Cold Night

I am an African American woman. I was born on December 22, 1956. My mother passed away when I was four years old. I was raised by my remaining family members. My father passed away when I was about twelve years old. I was raised on a farm. After my father died, I came to live in Michigan. I graduated high school in Detroit, Michigan. I earned my associate's degree in science from Highland Park Community College. I married my husband, Larry Doran Gadson, in 1989.
