Who I Was . . . Born to Be . . . and Whose I Am is an inspirational autobiography, referring to a well-lived life, as an extravagant tapestry reveals true accounts of remarkable adventures—a first romance; an aunt, nurse to President Dwight Eisenhower; a neighbor, Senator Sam Ervin (chair of the Watergate investigation); life-changing decisions; dating a would-be celebrity; a journalist interview with Rev. Billy Graham; raising an artist-daughter and a Broadway-actor son; a murder; surviving 9/11; encounters with icons destined for greatness; divine interventions; miraculous healings; a mystery; and the invention of the Garmin (GPS) in a friend's garage.
