Curriculum vitae Formerly, from the beautiful, old, southern port city of Savannah, Georgia ; I studied literature at Savannah High School and Armstrong State College. A military deserter, I frequented the New York City underground, then exiled to Canada in the late sixties. I, definitively, "dropped out" of American society in the early seventies, having booked passage on a cargo ship to Europe, with only my bicycle and a back pack. Now, married and father of three grown children, I have now been living in the South of France for the past thirty –five years doing social work and teaching (free-lance) English.
