My mom became a witness about when I was born, raised in a divided houshold as my father had the strengh of mind never to get sucked in. Baptized in '71 at 14, married in '73 (lousy idea), walked away in '91 from the miserable marriage and the religion. Happy to be thinking for myself. The last 16 years have been the best in my life. Attended halls in Hayward CA, Gresham OR and Longview WA. I now live in Vancouver, WA. My mom, Cookie, and both my sisters live in Alaska now and have been merrily shunning me since '91.
