In the Beginning
I was born in 1959 in Redwood City, California. Both parents were from the midwest, mom was raised in Minneapolis, dad was raised in Michigan. Dad was awarded “most likely to succeed” in college. He had gone to a Billy Graham crusade in college and was one of the hundreds of people who responded to the altar call. Mom had a really good outlook as well with her very good education. They married as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. My older brother arrived soon after they were married, then came my sister a short time later. After a couple of years they moved to California where I was born next.
