I was born in Renton Washinton in 1960. My family moved from there to Lake Charles Louisiana then to Wichita Kansas. I was raised most of my life in Wichita then I move to Watonga Oklahoma. I have lived in Watonga Oklahoma for 15 years. I am currently working at a correctional facility and have been in the corrections field since 1998. I have 2 beautiful children and am currently divorced and single. My interests are visiting museums and reading about historical eras and places. The best museum that I have had the priviledge of visiting was the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. I also visited many sites around there and was truly moved by the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetary. I have a tender heart for those who serve our country and am moved by all who have served and are serving. My son Chad served 2 years in the Air Force and my Son-in-Law is currently serving in the Army. My son in law was seriously injured in Iraq from a mortar that landed 3 feet behind him. His good friend was killed after the fact as he was ordered to check the site after the injured were pulled from it. My son-in-law Drew Ashby is a recipient of the purple heart and it moves me to tears every time I think about. I am moved to tears that so many aren't as fortunate as he and that he is alive. My thanks go out to all of you who have served and are serving. I am honored by all of you and feel that what ever my findings will be with my family I consider all Americans a part of my family.
