My Autobiography

Hi! This is an autobiography about me. Hope you enjoy this.
I was a military brat{I hate that term!}. I was raised as an only child. I have a sister but I didn't find out about her until 9 years ago. Her mother didn't tell her about Dad until the later years. My sister and I share the same father. Sis lives in Florida and we see each other once or twice a year. I love her and things have worked out real well with us.

Dad was in the military and my parents and I lived in Arkansas, Washington, DC, Washington State, Tennessee, Arizona and Indiana. I attended quite a few schools. When I was 3 years old, my mother and I went to a parade which featured two of the actors from WAGON TRAIN and Alan Hale, Jr.{Skipper on Gilligan's Island!}. I wondered off and the Skipper picked me up and bought me back to my mother. I don't remember this but my mother told me this and she wouldn't lie! Every time I watch Gilligan's Island, I feel so honored. I love that show.

When my parents and I lived in Washington, DC, we went to Andrews Air Force and saw President John F. Kennedy getting off the Presidential plane. He waved to the crowd and I felt so bad when he got shot! I was 8 but I couldn't understand why and still can't why JFK was killed.

I made a lot of friends when I was a kid and it was so hard when Dad got transferred. Mom and I stayed with my grandparents in Indiana when Dad went to Viet Nam 3 times. Dad made it home safely.

I attended quite a few schools. I learned to read with Dick and Jane readers.The Beatles were popular and so were peace and love! The 70's we saw Disco and the down fall of President Nixon. I spent 3 years in one high school in Indiana and one year of high school in Arkansas. I graduated from a high school in Indiana. I was in The Miss Indiana Teen-Ager Pageant, Junior Miss Pageant, Drama Club, School Reporter for a local Newspaper{which I won a plaque award}, school paper staff, Annual staff and Thespian Society. I always have had an interest in writing and Journalism. I went to a small 2 year college and I got an Associate of Arts Degree toward Journalism but I ended up as a Qualified Medication Assistant{QMA, which is like a Nurse}. I work in a Mental Health Facility.

I enjoyed the Air Force Bases Dad was stationed on. I love airplanes and Dad was a Flight Engineer on the airplanes. He was one of the flying crew. Mom was a housewife and didn't work outside the home.

I enjoyed staying with my Grandparents. They had a farm and Grandpa farmed 80 acres. I have good memories of them. We would sat outside at night and watch the lightning bugs. Great little insects! I loved walking in the woods with Grandpa. The farm was surrounded by woods.

I am married to a wonderful man, we live in a small farm town in Indiana and we have a 29 year old son whose birthday falls on the day on Elvis 's Anniversary of his death.
