In the "Did you know?" Dept., Jean was born in Miami and Tony came over from Bermuda in his teens. Miami is where they met, married and brought your humble web geek editor into this mortal coil. After a brief 2 years with the Air Force in Columbus, OH (the only time I saw snow in my youth... and that's a good thing!), we came back to Miami bringing Matt and John with us. I guess it was the least we could do considering they were just babies and all. After getting settled in the house we were to grow up in for about a dozen years, David, then Lisa came along.
My story is, after I graduated high school (1973), instead of me leaving home, my family left home! And Atlanta is where they've been ever since, except for Matt, who somehow managed to marry into a family in Detroit even larger than ours! Must be gravitational, y'know?
I came to L.A. to goof around for a couple weeks...back in 1980! But every now and then, we'll meet up in our "second' home base, and here's the pix to prove it. Enjoy!
