Born in Nuremberg, Germany. First U.S. state was California. After more international stuff, lived up and down the eastern seaboard at various military bases. Then to the Far East, back to U.S. and the Midwest. Back to Europe, back to U.S. (Kentucky). And so on. The states lived in the longest were New Jersey (8 mos.), Kentucky (3 yrs.), California (too long to count). If pushed, I'd guess I would say I was a California gal with a touch of the East Coast and the South in my heart. Sorry, was never a fan of the Midwest.

Born in a hospital in a little town named Christiansburg, VA. The hospital is no longer there. It's a used car lot now. (Or at least it was last time I was there) Lived in VA most of my life.

Born in Pontiac Michigan, after 6th grade moved to Waterford, ran away from home at 21 and moved to Southfield, married at 26 and moved to Farmington. I lived the first 58 years of my life in Oakland County, Michigan. At 58 it was rumored all the smart people in Michigan were moving to Florida. I started that rumor.

Born in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. That's to differentiate between the City and the County, which are different entities.

The hospital still stands, but functions now only as a clinic, the bigger entity having moved west, into the County, some 30 or more years ago!

Parents took me to Massachusetts at age 9 months, where I stayed until returning to St. Louis when I married. Both my children were born in the same hospital, at that time the same building!

Goodness me, how long ago all that was!
