Maiden name is Lozea. Lived there from approx. 1948-1957. My parents owned a dry cleaning store and my aunt & uncle owned a dry goods store. I would not wish living in White County back then on my worst enemy. I was the only Jewish kid in school and left handed to boot. I had a teacher tell me that the devil sits on the left shoulder of God as she was hitting my hand with a ruler. Not many pleasant memories, however, living there certainly contributed to my feelings about people who judge others by their skin color, religion or political affiliation.
Sorry for the rant.

Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and lived there for 20 years.
Transferred from UNM to University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Worked as engineer in Charlotte, NC for 26 years where I lived in Charlotte and in Tega Cay, SC (just across the border from Charlotte).
Moved back to Albuquerque three years ago and opened gift shop in tourist area. Still in Albuquerque but now working from home in anticipation of another shop but dealing in awards primarily now. It's good to be back in the dry heat again.

There seems to be some kind of pattern to your moving about. It's good that you always seem to end up back here in Texas!

Not exactly, it wasn't a voluntary move but on the whole MO may be better than a few other places. My wife likes St. Louis and didn't like Columbus. I, naturally, carefully weighed my options and decided to stay in St. Louis.

hmmmm.. and I was thinking about buying a cutting grid from you. But, now I have to think harder about that. Hard for Penn State fans to buy from OSU or Meecheegen people. LOL
PS.. why would you name your team after a poisonous nut??

From Wikipedia:
The fruit is a round or oblong spiny capsule 4-5 cm diameter, containing 1-2 nut-like seeds, 2-3 cm diameter, brown with a whitish basal scar. The fruit is poisonous to humans, but often eaten by squirrels.
From luckymojo.com:
When i lived in Missouri, back in the 1970s, i met several boys and men who told me that they kept buckeye nuts in their pockets as a "lucky piece." The "doctrine of signatures" -- the magical belief that items from nature reveal their purpose or usefeulness by their shape, colour, or markings -- may be what gives buckeyes their status as pocket pieces among men, for by "luck," they mean good fortune in sexual matters, and buckeyes certainly recall in miniature the idealized, smooth, beautiful, firm testicles of men.
:P
