MY FAMILY

Pictured here is my family in 1947. (That's me on the lower right.) My father was born in Hingham, Massachusetts; my mother was born in Chugwater, Wyoming; and my sister and I were both born in Newark, Ohio, delivered by my paternal grandfather.

My mother lived at Tudor Oaks Retirement Center in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, until her death on April 19th, 2005. My father also lived there until his death on January 6th, 1999.

My maternal grandmother also lived in Wisconsin, in a small town called Weyauwega, until she passed away in 1997 at the age of 103. The family homestead, built by my maternal grandfather, is still there on White Lake.

My sister has lived in Hollywood but is currently "revitalizing" at the family homestead. She is a professional hypnotherapist and writer. She also directs and acts in community theater and, while living in Hollywood, moonlighted as a professional background artist on several popular TV shows.

My 27-year-old nephew, Damian, lives in Los Angeles and is involved in TV production, filmmaking, and music.
