I was born July 5th 1949 in Tulare Cali. My parents were heading from Ava Missouri to Vallejo, my dad had a job there at Mayer Island Ship Yard as a welder. My grandpa was the boss. I was a few weeks early.
So my first memories of life was living in Vallejo on a ranch "Knights Ranch" it was called. Mr Knight had houses for his workers, my grandpa knew him so there we were (a special deal). We (mom, dad, three sisters and me) lived there until I was 6 years old or 1955.
Next stop Liberty Street in Visalia Cali, my dad would work for a cousin who owned a nursery. I grew up in Visalia. graduated from Mt.Whitney HS in 1968. While there I starred on the football/track team.
I can about things nobody else here has a clue about, thart's because I was there when The Beatles first played on the Ed Sullivan show, I was there with the LSD, the hippies, the days of Lenny Bruce, Jack Kerovac, Wolfman Jack, Have Gun Will Travel, Jimi Hendrix, no black footballer in the SWC/SEC, Muhammad Ali was still Cassius Clay, I was in Viet Nam.
I would sit there on the floor beside my garandma (making sure not to knock over her spit can, she used snuff) watching WRESTLING FROM THE OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM, she loves to hate Fred Blassie and...."I HATE THAT JAP"...Mr.Moto, she loved Count Billy Varga and Wild Red Berry. My fav was Baron Leoni. We both had no idea what to think of Gorgeous
George.
, I saw Jim Brown play while he was at Syracuse, saw Bullet Bob Hayes as a freshman at Florida A&M, who can talk Willie Galimore, how about Bass (first Ram to gain a 1000 yards in a season) who went to Vallejo HS when I lived there. Saw Gale "Kansas Comet" Sayers while he was still at Kansas.
Come on people.
Only an idiot would think a guy like me could be some sick ass pedo. That BS just tells us how ed up all of you are.
