Although I was not born in this country, I emigrated here in my teens. I have adopted this land as my home and revel in the opportunities and the freedoms I have been given. I was raised a Catholic and have been active for most of my life. Am liberal in just about all issues except abortion. Have visited 23 countries in my lifetime. Hope to see another 23 before I die.
