I was born and raised in the City of Chicago and enlisted in the Marines during the Vietnam era. I have lived in Northern California for over 35 years and earned a living as a heavy equipment operator until I was diagnosed with "Lou Gehrig's Disease" and was forced to retire. I spend a lot of my free time now researching family history.
