Delivered papers as a kid, then sold ladies shoes. Got a job in the credit department of a department store chain and then finally began a 36-year career with a major company in the Peoria area. Worked myself up from runniing copy machiens to computers to programming to systems analysis and finally supervision. Retired now and doing much more important (rewarding) stuff ... working with elderly shut-ins, charities, helping the poor in Appalachia , and, of coure, family and church stuff.

Have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and am just starting to get back into doing some with that.
