East Texas writer and nonprofit fund-raiser / grant-writer and all around troublemaker and raconteur. I play guitar, banjo and assorted implements of destruction. I work with kids and old people as a teacher, advocate and friend. I have a beautiful wife, Sheila, a Louisiana girl I lured into a long term assignation more than 33 years ago when she was a naieve college girl. We have three children and 3 grand children. One of our sons is resting till Jesus comes and we can all be together again. Till then we are waiting impatiently for his arrival and doing our best to learn whatever it is he wants us to learn in this life.
