Self-Description: I came of age in the glorious 60s and am the
typical baby boomer...obsessed with staying young in
body and mind, shaped by all of the great music of the
sixties - rock, rhythm & blues, the Motown sound, the
British invasion. I am an English major with a BA in
Liberal Arts, so I consider myself somewhat in the
intellectual mode, but I have an earthy, wild side as
well. I also love anything creative. I am sometimes
stubborn and opinionated, but I am also willing to
listen to the other side on any issue. I have many
old friends - most of whom I have known for 30 years
and longer, so I must have some qualities that are
likeable! I love to socialize and visit, but I also
like my times of solitude. I am an extrovert, but have
a very introspective side. I live each day as fully as
possible, since we are never promised anything further.
When I love someone or something, I am fully
committed.
Children: 2 grown sons, 25 and 21 - the youngest is a
redhead with blue eyes, just like his Mother
Interests: Movies, reading, writing, amateur painting
and drawing, and decorating my home and my friends
homes, listening to good music, and visiting with my
old friends and family.
More Info: I had polio in 1951. I was one of the last
children to get the disease in a huge epidemic that hit
that year before the vaccine came out. I am in a
wheelchair as a result, but my parents always treated
me and raised me as a normal child, so I was never
given or allowed any real limitations. I attended
public school, learned to drive with a hand control my
Dad built, graduated from college, married, and had two
sons. I have lived with a man for the last 5 years who
is my soul mate and best friend. We discuss marriage
a lot, but haven't taken the plunge yet.
