Age: 63
Occupation: I'm physically disabled but mobile. I was employed by six law enforcement agencies; was an office manager, security supervisor and a self-employed home and business organizer.
Hobbies: Genealogy research, container gardening, crossword puzzles. I'm a voracious reader. Volunteering is my favorite pastime.
Bee reader since: 1965 through 1980; and since 1997.
How many letters: 10 since 1999.
Favorite topics: I avoid public forums on the subjects of politics, religion and the economy; instead, I respond to letters that are on lesser subjects.
Why do you write? To express my thoughts; I hope that others will take a moment and consider alternative views.
Education: Graduate of McLane High, 1963, and one year at Fresno City College.
Family: One son and daughter-in-law in Las Vegas.
Political philosophy: For most of my voting life I have been registered as non-partisan or declined to state. I don't believe in the two-party system, and found that neither the majority nor the minority parties offer me enough; I vote for the particular candidates regardless of party affiliation. I'm for open primaries.
