California born. Lived in small towns or rural settings most of my growing up. I've experienced a lot of change in my life and the most pleasant one seems to be retirement. Idaho, Washington, Vermont and Oregon are all states where I've hung my hat. Been living in Pendleton for years.
I raised three fine daughters who live on their own. Distance separates us, but we remain close. I have 5 grandchildren, 3 girls and 2 boys. Love being a grandpa!
I'm retired from the USDA and now into writing, a craft I've practiced most of my life. My work can be found at (http://www.irawhite.net). Living alone with two dogs and a host of house plants and can't get any of them to learn English.
