About me: I was "downloaded" in Oklahoma City. What were my parents thinking? I graduated from Southeast High School in 1966 and made a not so great 'college try' at the University of Oklahoma. After being showed the 'exit' from 'Sooner Land', I entered the military, The Army Security Agency(a branch of the NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY) where I experienced a year in the great vacation land known as South Vietnam..doing TOP SECRET "SUPER SNOOPER" kinds of things. Boy, that experience has done me well in my post military life. NOT!
After having too much fun there, I returned to a 'real' university known as Oklahoma State University where I wasted a good GI Bill on a Forestry degree. Sheesh..I still haven't grown wiser. However, I DID survive and earn the BS degree in 1975(fill in your own terms for BS). Upon finding no job openings in the forestry field, and after other personal catastrophies, I had the opportunity to fulfull a dream to experience the REAL wilderness by moving to Alaska. I lived and worked in the Anchorage area for almost 20 years as a Landscape Architect(designed many major park and recreation projects), a professional photographer, fishing guide, gold prospector, pilot, a volunteer for the Iditarod Sleddog Race, and a few other things I'd rather forget. I loved(and still love) the "Last Frontier". Alaska is not only the 50th state, but I like to say it's a "state of mind". You either love Alaska or hate it. I moved in and out of the state a couple of times. I've driven up and down the ALCAN HWY about 8 times.
I was introduced to bluegrass music in Alaska. Go figure. The Talkeetna Bluegrass Festival. I bought my first mandolin in Anchorage. When the economy crashed in the 80's, I moved to Colorado and worked for Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, putting my Forestry degree to work for the first time in almost 20 years. My bluegrass interests and opportunities increased by attending more jams and even the great fesitval at Telluride.
An opportunity to further the use of my Forestry degree presented itself and I moved back to Oklahoma,which I vowed to never do. Now I live in Broken Arrow, a suburb of Tulsa, and work as an Urban Forester. My bluegrass opportunities have grown as I have played with several bands locally. I taught myself to play upright("doghouse bass"), mandolin, and banjo(well..does anyone ever REALLY know how to play banjer?). My photoraphy interests continue with a parttime business "DScott Photographix". I also design websites for various clients.
Who I'd like to meet: I shall meet my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...well..upon his approval of course.(Wonder if He likes banjers).
I would have loved to have been able to sit down and talk with Mark Twain and Will Rogers. We have similar senses of humor. Then I would have liked to meet my boyhood idol 'The Mick', Mickey Mantle and all of his teammates at that time, especially Billy Martin, what a character. Ronald Regan, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo De Vince, George Patton, Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Patsy Cline(Nobody ever sang a love song like she did),
Albert Einstein(neither he nor I could balance our checkbooks).
