I am the youngest of 11Syblings, possibly 12, I'll know for sure once we get our public family records straight. I reside in Houston, TX with my Wife and three Kids.   My Major Influence was My Mom, Elma Loise Anderson, Born in 1934, Ville Platte, La. She was a Parapeligic from (1972) until her Death from Lung Cancer in October of 1990.  She resided in Lake Charles, La. She did everything someone not in her condition could do and better. Definitely when it came to cooking, She was the Queen. From homemade Pizza to Gumbo you name it. She was an Incredible, brave, and smart women, she never had a fear of death, as most of us today. Her main concern was that I ate, no matter what the cost.  It was like in the wild, only the strong survived. Well she feed her strongest, so he colud someday protect the pack. I always feared she would leave me, I just never knew when. She lives with me in my heart, We are one. Her Life Lessons to me were: never give up, no matter what it is you're doing.  Also, when you do something do it right the first time, so you don't wast time repeating yourself. And Last, it doesn't matter what you do in life, just be good at it. Even if it's washing dishes, Be the best dishwasher in the kitchen.  It doesn't seem like 19 years has gone by but it has. If God gave me one minute with her I would hug her for 30 seconds and thank her for the other 30. Her spirit lives inside of me and will forever be greatful.  

For me It's and achievement to be Alive. From the School of Hard Knox "3rd Projects".
