I grew up in Robinson, IL (a small town in southeastern Illinois), but I have moved a number of times through the years. I am now 63, divorced, with three adult children and one 2 1/2-month-old granddaughter. I spent most of my working life in the emergency services communications field (police/emergency medical dispatching and 9-1-1) in Robinson, IL, Paris, IL, Blountville, TN, Bristol, TN, Muncie, IN, Springfield, MO, and Massillon, OH.
