I was born in Minneapolis, MN, went to England with my mom and two older siblings for a few months when my dad was reassigned, then traveled to Sidi Slimane Air Base to join him. It occurred to me only recently that I had been on three continents before I was 2 years old. I lived here until I was four years old, and my earliest memories are of the many adventures I had as a child on the off base housing as well as our many visits to the beaches.
