Biography

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana; and have resided in Luling, Louisiana; Emerson, New Jersey; and Edwardsville, Illinois.

I have raised two sons: Rick Solomon of Springfield, Illinois; and Christian Luetkemeyer (wife Jamie Garrison) of Edwardsville. Avan Gene Luetkemeyer is my grandson.

My hobbies are reading; cooking; historical reenacting; training my dog, "Missy," in conformation, obedience and agility; and feeding my turtles, "Pea Brain" and "Flash".
