The day I was born my dad was out fishing. I am the second youngest of 19 kids. 15 boys and 4 girls.
There was 15 years difference between my mom and dad. My dad passed away March 22, 1995. This picture was taken just 11 days before that.
This is me as a baby.
There were not too many pictures of me taken. I guess when you have had that many kids you don't have time when the last ones come along.
I started walking at 9 months.

In highschool I sang in the choir. We were called the Savanna Singers.
In 1988, I participated in Music Fest Canada in Calgary. It was a lot of fun and met a few characters.

I started school there and actually graduated there as well.
