If the truth is known, I am old enough to know better, but I try to forget it on a daily basis. But, here are the basics:

Born in Jarvis, Kentucky in June 1952.

William Stephenson Clark was the name I was born with. My middle name was a mid-wife's error. It was supposed to be "Steven." My birth family has always called me Stevie. Using one's middle name is a maternal family tradition.

Illegally abandoned by my paternal birth grandparents in late June of 1958. 

Adopted in Detroit in the early Sixties, to a strict Lutheran family.

Thanks to the efforts of my middle daughter, I found my birth families in 1997.

I am of Native American, African American, German, Irish and Norwegian ancestry. I am not enough of any one heritage to claim it as mine, so basically I am just a mutt, which is fitting, since I look and act like a mutt. 

Three horrible (!?!?) children:

Dee, Wichita, KS 32

Dani, Shelby Township, MI, 29

Dylan, Wichita, KS, 20

Two wonderful grandkids:

Riley, 7

Eli, six months

Two very weird cats, Duke and Morgan.

I miss my best friend, my Golden Retriever, Rocky everyday! R.I.P. He was the best dog in the world.
