About Me...

Hello...
I was born in a small town called Fairbury in Nebraska...
I never had a father as my mother separated from her husband before I was born...
I was raised by my grandmother, grandfather and my mother...
I have one brother and one sister both who are older than myself...
The family moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa when I was around three years of age..
And then we moved to Pomona, California when I was eight years of age...
My grandfather died at the age of 73 when I was at the age of nine
and therefore leaving only my grandmother and my mother to raise me from then on...
My mother, I suppose, decided that raising three children with only the help from my grandmother was more than she had bargained for...And I guess this was the reason she sent me to Florida to live with my sister and brother-in-law when I was twelve years of age..
My brother-in-law was stationed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa at the time...
I only stayed there with them for one school semester and when they left to return to California for the summer vacation period, I felt better to be back home where I felt I really belonged...
And when my sister and her husband wanted me to return to Florida with them the following Fall Season, I refused to go, and therefore upsetting my mother`s plans for me as she really wanted me out of her house and out of her face...
However, that same school year at the beginning of the second semester, my mother talked me into going down to San Diego to attend a military boarding school and telling me it would very good for me, indeed, which, of course, was not true at all...
My grandmother and my mother, both, even said if I did this, (bribing me, in other words) they would buy me a television set for my bedroom when I returned home for vacation..
I was thirteen years of age at this time in my life..
However, I did manage to get myself back into public schools again for the following school year and my guardians, at the time, (my mother and grandmother) hated me for doing it...And actually that`s a whole other story in itself...
Well, I did manage to graduate from Pomona High School at the end of all this turmoil...
So there you have the summarized edition...
