was born in Fort Worth, TX, in 1968. During my short stay in the Metroplex,
I had the pleasure of watching the Texas Rangers during their first year
in Arlington (TX, not VA). Also, I used to admire the open fields across
the interstate from Six Flags over Texas. I believe there's a Wet 'N Wild
or something similar now. These are the major memories I have before I
was coerced into moving to Colorado Springs, CO, in 1973.
Again, there was lots of open country between the Springs and the Air Force Academy during my term at the base of the mountains. Some of the interesting thoughts I keep from that time include the going aboard the Liberty Train as part of the Bicentennial celebrations and also visiting the USAFA chapel, hearing recorded voices coming from the ceiling and thinking the place was haunted. In 1976, my family moved once again, this time to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where I spent the remainder of my childhood. [My old high school marching band performed in the 1998 Tournament of Roses parade.] I spent my freshman year at Iowa State University that I sometimes refer to as my year of purgatory, then transferred to the University of Iowa at Iowa City, IA, from where I graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Science Education. I moved to the Kansas City area in early 1995. Currently, I live in Kansas City, MO, and have been working since March 1997 as a contract technical writer for Sprint. I also have an online journal that I update semi-regularly. Check it out at www.livejournal.com/users/skyflame. |
