I am a "Native American," an enrolled member of the Teton Lakota Sioux (I realize that description is filled with redundancies!). My father was born on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota before American Indians were made citizens by Act of Congress, but he joined the Army Air Forces during World War II, served in combat in Italy, and made the Air Force a career. As an "Air Force brat" I was fortunate to be the first in my family to go to college, and my nickname reflects my association with The Ohio State University.
My interests are primarily in North American and military history, but I am liable to edit any article of interest because I have a passion for readable, "correct" English. I am retired from my first career and now work at the University of Dayton, affording me the time to indulge my Wikipedia addiction.
Re the cat user box. I was a "dog person" all my life, having had two German shepherds and an Aussie. But dog deaths are hard on you. The first cat I had lived 23 years and even then I had to put her down. I've since adopted 3 kittens I rescued from the street (one ran off, the other 2 are now 5 years old), adopted two passed along by my older son who moved to another state), and have 3 kittens from one of the adoptees who I thought was neutered but wasn't (is now). They're now a year old. Having researched them on Wiki they're a weegie, a tiffany, a tuxedo, a calico, and three I'm still figuring out.
