I was born in Montana and grew up in Oregon. My mother thought I was an art prodigy and sent me to several art schools. What I learned there was that while I was pretty good I was nowhere near a prodigy, so I looked around for what I could do for a living. The US Navy had measured my IQ at 144 and I was able to get a tuition grant, so I majored in physics and got a BS Magna Cum Lauda in 1961. I didn't take any courses that would help me write poetry. Later, I had a boss whose wife wrote off-color limericks and I found I could write them as fast as I could put them down. She and I got along famously and he accused me of seducing her. Ah, yes... Anyway, when I saw this website I was drawn here like a moth to a candle.
