I'm a wise elder of the tribe. My Paternal ancestors are primarily Irish, Scot and English. My Irish side, which came over in mid 1600s were run out of Ireland for being Quakers. My English Grandmother was an orphan that was adopted by a Canadian family. My Grandfather was a Farmer from Nebraska who moved to Michigan to work in the Automoblle factories. My maternal side is Scots/Irish also with some Norman/French. My grandfather was a Farmer and Master Carpenter and part time preacher. My grandmother was also a country girl who defined what a Homemaker did and passed it on to my mother.

My family is primarily country folks.We are mostly farmers, stockman, craftsman and folks that work with their hands. We live in places like Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma and California. My generation is the first one in the family to get the other side of High School. My father was killed by the Germans in WW2 and my StepFather comes from the same group of country folks and got his High school diploma at the age of 60. My Moms family are more of the same.

My offspring consists of 2 sons (one an Attorney and one a Screenwriter) and a Daughter who is still evolving.

I make my living doing things technical. I have a degree in Engineering with a minor in History and Political Science. I spent 5 years in the Marine Corp which led to some of my views of things Social and Political.

I keep a book of all folks and foolish things that need to be addressed. This is called "Me Book" It is not good for me to Write your name in Me Book because it will cause your swine-like and foolish behavior to be known to the world at large.
