SUMMARY
Background
Being the oldest child of a large LDS family, myself, along with the other children, learned to honor the traditional American values such as honesty, hard work, and ingenuity. Because of my father’s attempt to take care of his family while improving himself with a college education, we moved around many times. By the time I was 21 I had moved 24 times in my life. We lived everywhere from an Indian Reservation to a National Recreation Area to small rural community to a large metropolitan community. Having moved around, we became acquainted with a diverse range of humanity enabling us to become more appreciative of the human race and their many similarities despite perceived differences. We currently live in a small town in northern Arizona. It has been our home for twelve years.
