[Eric in the Ozarks]

Left the first time when I was three to accompany my folks to Asia. Dad was stationed there with the military in the 1950s-1960s. Back home to Iowa a couple of times in the mid 1950s, then home to the states for good in 1961. Colorado, then back to IA. High school in Centerville, class of 67. BA @ U of Iowa, 1972.
Lived 16 years in Minnesota. Mom is still in IA. We now live in the Missouri Ozarks.
