WHO? I was born 1948 and raised in Marietta Ohio, a rural town on the Ohio River in southeastern Ohio. I couldn’t wait to move away.  It was a beautiful environment but had a lousy economy and very little opportunity. I was a terrible student growing up and nearly flunked out at Ohio University as I was just starting the undergrad photo program 1968. The Viet Nam war was raging and I did everything I could to stay out of the draft. I talked my Art 101 teacher into raising my grade so I could stay in the photo/art program.
