Many moons ago, when Lyndon Johnson was the President of the United States, I was born in Detroit, Michigan, not Warren like some posers who claim to come from the “mean streets of Motown.” Despite what you might have heard, growing up in the Motor City in the 1970’s was not that bad for a kid. You learned which streets you could walk on and which ones you did not dare to. However, by 1983, when we lived off of “Six and Gratiot” the city was taking a hard turn for the worse.

My mother was born and lived for a time in rural Ohio in her youth. My parents decided that we needed a change from city life so, like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse, we packed up the truck and moved from the bright lights of the big city to the cornfields of rural Holmes County, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the best and most important experiences of my life.

Leaving Detroit behind, we moved into a small farm house that had previously been built by the English, but most recently owned by the Amish, therefore it had no electricity, telephone, etc. when we took occupancy. There were indoor plumbing and fixtures, but they weren’t hooked up. For the first few weeks we roughed it, lighting the house with kerosene lamps in the evening, using an outhouse and drawing water from an outside well. There was a genuine wood-burning cook stove in the kitchen where my mother prepared our hot food until the electrician came to hook up the power and the plumber got the inside water running.
