I've been memed! My friend Rich Kruse did it this morning. I though he knew better, after all I'm known for being brief and Active Rain only has so much band with.

O'well. I do list myself as the greatest living expert on the opinions of William J Archambault Jr, so I guess I'm the one to write it. I'll try and be briefer than Tolstoy's "War and Peace," although I don't find Leo that wordy. I'll start at the beginning.

"In the beginning God Created the heavens and the earth... God said, "Let there be light, and there was light"...the light was good... God created man in his own image."'

That part always gets me, I wish the Lord had taken better care of himself. Lets fast forward a few years.

In 1608 AD my Great... Great Grandfather Jacques Archambault arrived in the new world. Jacques work his way North passing thru what is now Canada to Michigan's upper peninsula then to Wisconsin and back to lower Michigan.

  I came along in early 1948, proud to be the first born of Bill and Jeanette.

 My Grandfather was born William Jennings Brian Archambault, I use to ask my Great Grandfather about Grandpa's name all he would say is your "Grand Mother a lot of explaining!" I never learned, we lost Great Grandpa when I was 16 he was well over 100.

After several moves I went to grade school in Rosebush a small rural but excellent system although they never could teach me to spell! I went to high school in Portgage (Kalamazoo) Michigan a large top academic school.

In high school and collage I was a working photo journalist. I had made myself part of the schools public relations department, when I graduated in 1966 they hired me part time for the next two years, I went from student to part of the administration in three months.
