I have my Bachelor's degree from Mississippi State University and Master's from the University of Illinois. I grew up in Mississippi and Louisiana. I have lived and worked in the Baltimore and Chicago areas, in addition to other areas in Illinois and most recently in Virginia.
I have used Wikipedia far longer than I have been a contributor. I never intended to get that involved in it. I originally just saw something that I thought I could contribute and I did. As I have started having more time, I guess getting more involved was inevitable.
I have started trying to remember to "Thank" people when they help me or just do something worth doing. If I have missed anyone, thanks, and to anyone I may miss in the future, thanks in advance.
