    Places I've been
    Born in Upper Darby, PA. grew up in southern New Jersey (Single Mom so we moved a lot) but my real growth came upon me as a young man in Philadelphia, PA and that's why I consider Philly to be where I'm from. (Hometown), High School Name (City, State) Collingswood Senior High School, Collingswood, NJ. I quit in 1973 and enlisted the Navy so I wouldn't get drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam. College Name Community College of Philadelphia College Graduation Year Didn't, I blame the VA for not keeping their promise to help with my education. I did have to eat and keep a roof over my head. Typical for me though because the government has always been there to mess things up for me. College Graduation Major/Concentration Business Occupation(s) Disabled by a drunk driver, so please don't drink and drive!

    About Me

    Well let's see, I can say that I'm well traveled. I was in the Navy and did hitch-hike across much of the US as a youngster in the '70's. Worked over 75 jobs in my lifetime. Owned several businesses, some successful and others completely disastrous. Raised a family on my own (1 still left at home with me) and have grandkids! Crazy ain't it?
