Tammy was born in John Day Oregon. Her father was a member of the Blackfoot First Nation. Tammy grew up in Benson Arizona not far from Tombstone and Dragoon where her Grandparents who adopted her ran the Golden Rule Mine, the local grocery store and Post Office. Tammy worked in Sierra Vista where the Military Intelligence School and Center is and Comsec Suppport Logistics Agency. Tammy was an item manager in CLSA. Had I not moved her to Fort Monmouth New Jersey where I had been informed that it was very different from sleepy Sierra Vista, Tammy would still be in the home she loved, a nice quiet job where co-workers were family in a quiet, temperate community. On the other hand, my being located near the "Coal Man" near America's first deep coal mine speaks to fate in my opinion. I had a lucid dream after High School where I heard a voice telling me to "find the coal man". I found him. That I'm living here speaks to fate. Tammy's first move in retirement would have been back to the arid west.
