Born 1951 in Lafayette, LA in the afternoon. My dad had just returned from squirrel hunting to see my Grandma (mother’s side) running around in her corset. My mom had gone into labor and Grandma was in a hurry to get her to the hospital when my dad realized what was happening, he too started rushing around. My mom sad down and waited. My parents were 21 years old and one paycheck away from being broke. My dad was in college.
