A brief introduction to me
Who am I
Answering such a question can lead to a lot of self reflection. Just to provide some context, I am 68 years old meaning I lived for decades without the internet and cell phones. Why is that important? Well, a few of my stories have to do with being limited to TV or radio for news, going to the library to find information, or being stranded in remote areas, all of which are only significant because of the limited resourced that existed at the time. It's even hard for me to believe how the world has changed in my lifetime. When I recall how isolated I felt as a curious nerd (and btw, the term "nerd" was not a common term in my youth, most people described curious people into technology as "weird") living in closed off communities, I can only imagine how different my life might have been if I was able to communicate with other like minded types across the world.I was born and raised in Oklahoma to a mother who was of 100% Italian descent and a Father primarily of German descent, but also descended of some other European origins (According to 23 and me anyway!). While I had a fairly "normal" childhood, as most people, I still have a few stories that I would like to write about.
So, keep reading if you are interested in life in Oklahoma in the 60's and 70's!
