Life
Graduated East Hartford High School in 1961. Attended University of Virginia. Quit after a year to join the Peace Corps in Chaingmai, Thailand, where I taught English as a second language and created a recreation program at McLean Leprosy Village.

After the film project ended, I moved to beautiful Seattle to pursue my own artistic endeavors and have been here since.

I continue to be a political activist in the environmental, civil rights, animal rights (I'm a vegetarian), and participatory democracy arenas. I never officially "married", but had a partner whom I loved for many years. He died of cancer a short while ago. So, that's my vagabond life in a brief nutshell, so far!
