Biography:

The Brief Biography: I was born in Sweden, shipwrecked outside of Cork, Ireland on the way to becoming a Canadian at the age of 2. Lived on a docked ship before my family sailed to New York when I was 4, where I gained notoriety by jamming an escalator with my teddy bear. I grew up in Boonville, Indiana, attended Purdue University, from where I enlisted in the Navy- my way of avoiding the draft - for the next 8 1/2 years. I traveled to exotic places like Great Lakes, Il., Ft. Monmouth, NJ., Subic Bay/Cubi Point in the Philippines, Treasure Island, (San Francisco, CA), the beautiful Island of Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territories, and Naples, Italy - where I finished my Naval adventure. I liked Naples so much I stayed for almost 14 years - 10 of them with Motorola Communications. Then off to California and the San Diego area for another 23 years with Motorola, where I just retired. I have recently moved to the Carson City, Nevada area where I am getting back to activities I had dropped over the last few years - square dancing, ballroom dancing, skiing, bowling, pocket billards, and maybe flying again!
