We went back on vacation nearly every year and managed to hold on to our country ways. Through my high school years I worked on a small ranch caring for the animals and irrigating the pastures.
My fascination with guns did not turn me into a homicidal maniac. I was tall for my age and felt protective towards my smaller classmates. I remember stepping between bully and victim to take the blows meant for one of my classmates when I was eight years old.
Marginal health and serious illnesses have stimulated my interest in traditional and alternative medicine. Advice from promoters of alternative medicine has recently allowed me to pull one foot out of the grave and stop the progress of my neuropathy.
Activity in the Southern Baptist Church through my teenage years kept me out of trouble. When I became acquainted with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) I knew I had found a home. My outspoken ways brought on confrontations which caused me to leave that church for twenty five years, but I am back now.
My outspoken ways also caused me some trouble on the job. At least one senior vice president begrudgingly referred to me as a watchdog.view less
