I born in Virginia and grew up in Connecticut. landed in Nebraska for several years and am currently residing in Kansas. I was raised, with my three sisters, in a Baptist orphanage and heavily indoctrinated in the Baptist religion. It took many years before I realized that I actually was an atheist trying to fit into a Christian skin. This realization came as a result of many years of private study and college majors of Philosophy/Religion and English. Having labored in various fields throughout my life, raising two children, and helping out with two precious granddaughters, I now find myself happily let loose in the world without any job titles. History, learning, freedoms of thought and expression, and politics are foremost in my interests.
