Howdy ! Married & Divorced in 7 years after HS. Did a BS Chem at UVa , 5 years at U Minnesota P Chem Doctoral studies but left when Reagan threatened "Limited Nuclear War". Went west to LA trying to record some Social/Political Music without success. Came back East when Reagan sacrificed the first Shuttle crew for his State of Union address timing & finished my Doctorate at Howard Univ (where a Prof researching Vibrational Circular Dichroism happened to be). Started writing lyrics, poems essays & then Letters to the Editor out West & for a few hundred pages of such go to flimflamfoodle.com website (Title from an acerbic joke by an Alum at UVa - Edgar Allen Poe).
