I was born during the Great Depression. The stock market fell the day after Mom and Dad got married. Growing up I didn't know we were poor because everyone else was also. I had every child hood disease you can imagine which has effected me all my life.
Although being shy and under weight I was able to accompish much.I rose to be Family Corporation President. Met many of the rich and famous counting them as friends such as Polititons, Governors, State Supreme Court Justice, Astronauts, and Movie Stars.
I'm not trying to impress but to show some what my accomplishements.
My Dear Wife and I have been married for 57 years. We have five sons, two daughters plus five spouces, 18 grand children and 16 or more great grand children

Hi Jane,
Why I use Corky? My Grandmother and an uncle called me Corky. They were fans of the comic strip "Gasoline Alley" Two characters I remember were Uncle Walr and Corky. I doubt if you've ever heard of "GA' It was a nickname I started using on my web pages. It was better than other nick names I had as a youth such as pest, runt, moron, stupid.
Thanks for asking and good luck with your WA adventure.

Although I spent over 45 years in the family business I learned many avenues of expression. Was a grease monkey alias M.P. in the Korean war. I was an accredited mechanic but my duties were changed when I always ended up with parts left over. My wife and I had been married only 2 weeks when I was shipped to Korea. I was gone 18 months and when I returned I was greeted with a nine month old son. My wife and I have raised 7 children, 2 girls and 5 boys. We have 16 Grandchildren with number 17 due any day.and about 15 Great Grandchildren. We have been married 57 years.
In my spare time I've been a door to door salesman, a construction person, Jack hammer operator, truck driver, brick layer, editor and publisher, Chamber of Commerce board and Vice President, Stage Director, Movie star (yeh right The movie never made it to the box office) I'm not bragging just to let you know a little about me. You See! When groing up I thought my name was retard.
