    Birth, Early years:<\/h2>\n

    Born May 8, 1953 in the town of Bethlehem, PA, but shortly thereafter moved to Philadelphia, PA, where I lived until the age of 15 (there was a brief period when I lived in Levitown, PA). I moved to the hippie commune, Bryn Athyn<\/cite>, in Stratford, VT (in 1968) and lived there for about 2 years (1968-1969), then the commune (or most of it) moved to Lime, NH (fall 1969), and I lived there for a year (winter ’69\/70). I then moved back to Stratford, VT (spring 1970) for another year (or a little more), then to Thetford, VT (late summer 1971) for a year (at this point I got my first access to a computer at the Dartmouth Computer Center, learning BASIC and DTSS), then up to Prentiss, ME (late summer 1972) for a year (fall\/winter ’72\/73), then two years in Bancroft, ME (spring ’73 to late fall ’75) at another commune, Battlebrook Farm<\/cite>, (with some of the same people as at the first commune) and helped build a large log house (hexagon, 20’per side), then I moved to Wendell, MA in the fall of 1975, where I have lived ever since.<\/p>\n

    Education:<\/h2>\n

    Well, this is a bit iffy. I went through the usual public school scene while in Phily, but there were many version miss-match problems. Lots of random Permission denied, Invalid arguments, Bus Errors, and the ever popular Segmentation Fault. Not a very good experience. I finished through the 9th grade while living in Phily. In Stratford, VT, I attended (more or less) 10th grade at South Royalston High School, in (you guessed it) South Royalston, VT. This was even worse than things in Phily, and gave it up as a dead loss, and dropped out of school. I was learning more at home anyway.<\/p>\n

    When I moved to Maine, I took the SAT test and did very well (I don’t remember the scores). And when I moved to Wendell, MA, I took some Continuing Ed courses at UMass, all relating to computer science, and aced all of them. One of the courses was taught by Edward Riseman and was (in part) a course teaching the LISP language. This one I did so well in, that Ed hired me to do some LISP programming for him.<\/p>\n

    I am mostly self-taught. I have learned these programming languages:<\/p>\n
