I was born somewhere in New York State in a summer during the Truman Administration.  To prevent identity theft, that's all the information I'm providing.  I am of Finnish, German, Scotch-Irish and Welsh ancestry, and have done some genealogical research on my family, and have traced my Finnish roots back to Finland in the late 1700s.                                                                               

Graduated Onondaga Community College, Syracuse, NY, A.A. Humanities.

Graduated SUNY Geneseo, BA
History.

Been married a long time, still married and glad I am.

Employment:
I've always thought that a person is not so much defined by how they earn their living, but by the way they live. That much said, how I earn my living is irrelevant. It's how you live your life that defines you.  At this point in time, I'm approximately three years away from retiring from my present job.



I have no children, but instead a few pets, to wit:

Alphonse-Gaston Merde-y-Pays d'Oiseau, an African Gray

Snowball, a Goffin cockatoo

Bushwick, a Citron cockatoo

Lucky, a Mealy amazon

Heckle and Jeckle, a pair of red-cheeked conures

Snickers, a Nanday conure

and my four cats, Scrap, Smoke, Freddie and Mystic.



With all these pets, who needs kids? 
Just feed, water, clean, and presto!
