I was born in South Eastern Kentucky, I was placed in Foster Care in Illinois, and adopted in Rochester, New York.


From what I have found in my years of genealogy research, I am Scotch, Irish, German and Cherokee but I consider myself Cherokee.


I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War (Two Tours). I am also a Veteran of Operation Desert Shield/Storm (I served on the border of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq.) I was Medically Retired from the Army in 1995.


I was a Sailor, Soldier, Firefighter and also an Electrical Engineer.


These days I don't get around too well due to various maladies.


But these are not who I am. They are what I have done and don't define me.


Who am I? Does anyone really know who they are?


I am a temporary resident of this planet. Once my purpose on this planet is complete I will join my ancestors in the Spirit World.


But what is my purpose for being here? I don't know, and because I don't know means that I don't know when I will cross over to the Spirit World. This is only known by the Great Spirit. I am only here because the Great Spirit wanted it so.


I am a Sensitive and Spiritual Being who is only a very small part of the web of life that connects us all to each other and to nature and our planet.


That is all I have to say.
