I was born in Darby, Pennsylvania on the outskirts of
Philadelphia and lived in Lansdowne until, fortunately, the family moved
to southern California. I was a fairly solitary kid, read a lot, wasn't
much of a student, but I can always remember being able to draw. I drew
horses and fashion models. Drawing helped me through public school and
through 24 years of teaching in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
