Came to Arizona as a freshman at ASU in 1963. Lived all over the Valley of the Sun at various stages of my life. Moved to Prescott Valley in 1994.
Before Arizona - As an Army Brat, I lived in Colorado, Idaho, California, Arkansas, and New Mexico. Grade school through high school was in New Mexico - so that's one home. We moved to Santa Barbara, California before I graduated from high school and my mother spent the rest of her life there. So that's my other home. And then there's Arizona - which has become my home after all the years of longing for the ocean. The high and low deserts are inescapably beautiful, and I'm not trying to escape any longer.
