Humanity is nothing without humanism.
My family has been in the USA since the 1600's and 1700's.
I was raised in rural Louisiana. Everyone farmed and raised cattle. We had free run of the countryside, pastures and woods, including Boise Cascade's property. We played in the woods and creeks swinging on vines like Tarzan. We swam in the ponds, where the cattle drank and cooled off in the Summer months. We played in the swamp with frog eggs, tadpoles, frogs, and a host of other things. It was an excellent way to learn about life and develop a work ethic.
I attended a small public school from grades 1-12. Friends from those formative years helped shape me just as my family did. I am grateful for their influence, too, and treasure them today. Though the school was small, it provided a wonderful foundation from which to continue learning. I admire and respect my teachers and their efforts to educate so many over the years.
Mother was the most influential person in my life. My sister is second.
I have done carpentry work in the form of buildings, from the foundation work to the roof. I have helped family and friends renovate their homes and lay new roofing paper and shingles. It is very hard work but rewarding to see the finished product and others enjoying their new surroundings.
I enjoy family and friends, books, technology, learning, outdoor activities, and traveling.
