About me:
My claim to fame: I am a graduate of Mississippi State University where several of my family members attended. I now live in Vail Colorado and work as a Ski Instructor during the winter. My personal claim to fame would have to be that Johnny Cash and I have something in common. I spent the night in Starkville City Jail 40 years after Johnny.
