WHO AM I?

I was born at home in Sacramento in 1931, graduated Del Norte Co. H.S. in 1949, attended Humboldt State College and San Francisco State (1954-57). Dropped out with a 3.23 GPA. I'm a Korean Era Veteran (U.S.A.F., Radar Operations; Sergeant). Have worked in logging, lumber mills, plywood mills, fisheries, restaurants, carpentry, as a UPS "lumper", warehouseman, electronic parts salesman and purchasing agent, and much more. I've had three businesses of my own including interior house painting, a sandwich shop, and as a "street artist" selling souvenir prints of my own drawings.
I was raised in a Republican family; grew up a Democrat; an now Independent. Was a Charter Member of S.F. Peace and Freedom Party. Activist for United Farm Workers and other causes (1966-1972). I still dream of a better world after all these years.
I WILL WORK FOR HONEST, OPEN, RESPONSIBLE CITY GOVERNMENT FOR ALL ARCATANS.
