| I was born in Shelton, Washington October 8, 1946. I then spent the
next four years at Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle, WA while
the doctors did the majority of the work on my hands. The medical staff
wanted to keep me there for life but my parents insisted on bringing me
home at the age of 4.
When I got home, I had a vocabulary of 2 words (David and potty). I
started school a year late, but graduated from High School in 1965. My
childhood years were more or less normal except for more operations
until I was 16. After high school I went to Multnomah School of the
Bible in Portland Oregon. for three years and to Seattle Pacific College
in Seattle, Washington for 3 years where I received a BA in Education in
1971.
During my last year of college, I married Connie whom I have known
since childhood. We were married August 14, 1970. After college I taught
school for 8.5 years, before going back to school to take a 2 year
course in Computer Programming. I have spent the last 16 years working
in a Local Bank in their Data Processing Department. We have 1 daughter
who is now living on her own in Olympia, Washington. |
