Dan E.

Tell you more about me and my family. My grandfather was born in Highlands of Scotland and raised on the Isle of Colonsay. My father was born outside of Dublin, Ireland and came to the states as a young lad. They lived in Scranton, Pa. Granddad had a livery stable and a mill. Dad had a talent for entertaining people and dancing. So, upon getting out of high school, he started in show business. His claim to fame was that he did all the choreography for Flo Zeigfeld. Dad of coarse was raised Irish Catholic. Mom was one of the Ziggy girls, and had danced in several of Dad's shows. They had never been formally introduced. They were introduced on a Wednesday nite. He took her out Wednesday, Thursday, proposed on Friday and married her on Saturday. They fought for thirty one (31) years. Both were practicing alcoholics. I came from a very dysfunctional family. Have you read "Angelas Ashes" by Frank McCourt. If not, you should. That is my family's story. I had an old brother, who died several years ago. And then there is myself. The whole family, dad, mom, brother, me were and are recovering Alcoholic and Drug Addicts. I have twenty four (25)years. I have three daughters. The oldest is Kim. She is married to Doug Grisham. Kim graduated with her PharmD. They have a son named Zack. Haven't got to see much of Zack. My middle daughter is Beth. She is married to Rod Sumner. He is a fireman, due to my youngest daughter ex-husband. They have two daughters. Cheyenne and Sierra (both named after pickup trucks). The whole family is into Rodeos and Western Stuff. My youngest daughter is Dawn. She was married to Brian McAlister. Brian is a hard working farm boy, who is a fireman, His father is a fireman, his uncle is a fireman, etc. etc. They have three children. The oldest is Carley, then came Jaidan, and then Denton. Dawn works for the federal postal system, as a rural route carrier. I really did a number on my kids, when I was drinking and drugging. Two of the three have forgiven me, but one still holds a lot of anger. And that is OK. She needs to do what she has to do. All of the kids and grandkids live about an hour and a half from Moore. Moore is a sub of Oklahoma City. I worked in Norman Ok. at Norman Regional Hospital. Have been there since 1989. My Border Collies are Shamus and Peg. Shamus is the old man and all he wants is to be petted and love. Shamus is out of Lynn Daniel’s Davy, who is out of International Tweed. He’s my buddy. I enjoy music, cooking, computers and of coarse the BC’s
