In a conversation with my 15 year old niece I was asked if I was a ' Hippy ' in the '60's. I thought about it a minute, trying to interpret just what she was asking......, did I live the life style, what was the era like or was it because I was wearing a tied dyed shirt that sparked her interest in the ' Hippies ' ? How do you explain the '60's to a '90's child ? In the innocence that has been left to them, they are more
" in the know" and wiser about todays world than we were then. They have facts and we had ideals.
In answer to her question, I was a ' Hippy ' in spirit, advocating peace and brotherly love and the freedom of spirit, but didn't burn my bra, take part in sit-ins or protests and didn't make Woodstock. What was I doing with my life at that time? Raising kids, working & paying bills, were my primary duties in that era and I took my protests to the polls, exercising what I consider my most important right given to me by the founding father's of this country. I became an American Voter !
I was born to William Robert Herion Jr. and Dorothy Lorene McDaniel in the last half of the 1940's in Clovis, California, delivered by Dr. Clayton McMurty ( Dr. Mac) at the old Clovis Sanitarium. I was raised at 141 6th St. ( Bullard Ave.) and attended Luther E. Weldon, Sierra Vista and Jefferson grammer schools, and Clovis High School in the 1950's and early 1960's.
I married my highschool sweetheart, raised 4 sons and still enjoy the life we started almost 37 years ago together.
Besides being a wife and mother for those 37 years, I have also been a school bus driver, reserve Deputy Sheriff and a Medical First Responder.
I drove school bus and was a deputy for Madera County, California in the 1970's and Medical First Responder for White Bluff, Tennesee in the 1990's.
I hold a green belt in the Kenpo style of karate, my sensi being Kirk Ellis, founder of the Kenju Karate Studio's in Madera, Fresno & Chowchilla areas of California.
Finding it hard to write about myself, I will put my natal birth horoscope up, since everyone that has read it says it describes me pretty good and is about 90-95% accurate. There's also a link that you can go have your own done if your so inclined.
