Barry and Jen at their wedding reception, August 2009
In brief, my wife and I live just outside Anacortes, Washington. I am a (mostly) retired Librarian while she and her mom run, Gae's Draperies, a window treatments business. On the side we are both bluegrass musicians and have a band, Pearly Blue. I was born in London, Ontario, Canada and so have dual citizenship as my father was American. My mom was a Nurse and my father worked for Standard Oil. Both are deceased. I have a Broadcast Journalism degree from Michigan State University and a Master's degree in Librarianship from the University of Washington. I worked for several Washington state Community Colleges and for about a decade at Western Washington University. While this may all seem rather conventional, much of the rest of my life has been anything but that.
