Born and raised in the Southern United States. Moved from a farming community in the teens, attended and graduating from city schools. Studied to be a C.P.A., joined USNR, married, and four children. Employed in a Corporation producing paper products at an entry level position, progressed into management, transferred to start-up a new facility in New England. Years later ended with a Coperate transfer to a new management position in a foreign country. This enabled exposure to a totally new environment for a long period of time, ending with a decision to retire. Moved family back South to a cattle farm, sold that and moved back to New England where I reside with my wife of over six decades.
