I was born in Ohio. I grew up on a farm with me one sister and father and mother. We were very poor. I entered college when I was 35 years old. I had a wife and 12 year old son. I got no help from parents, in fact I sent money home monthly. Nine years later I graduated with a doctorate in school psychology. I am married to a wonderful lady (second marriage) who has been a joy to my life. We raised our great grandson from age four after his mother got mixed up in drugs. I am 91. I have written two books. I worked for ten years on my memoirs. My wife is an established author of eight books. she has an authors page of her own, Norma Saiter.
