More about me

I was born in Texas and relocated to Georgia in 1990.  I graduated from Mesquite High School in 1969 and immediately went to work for the Bell System in 1969 and still work today. I like to travel, watch TV and movies and hope to retire next summer 2012.

I am an advocate for captive elephants worldwide and work to get them into sanctuaries.  Circuses and Zoos are not sanctuaries!

I like to travel in the USA.  Not really interested in traveling abroad.
