Biography/About:
Born 2 October 1961 in Caledonia, MN.
From age six until high-school graduation in 1980, was resident all too often in institutions and foster care, and was oft subjected to abuse and maltreatment.
Save for a period of psychiatric abuse and maltreatment thanks to an ill-advised referral to a Jobs Training Centre in Eau Claire, WI in 1980 (in turn leading me to Day Treatment from Hell, so to speak), have resided in Winona, MN.
