Description

I was born on September 4, 1968 at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren, OH . My father owned a landscaping company and eventually dabbled in the import/export business before meeting my mother who, at the time, worked as a cashier. After they eloped to avoid the wrath of my maternal grandfather (who was angered that my dad was nearly 30 years older than his daughter), an accountant left my father flat broke. Never one to give up easily, he took a job at Alcan Aluminum as a metal worker to keep food on the table. Things were so bad, financially, that my parents had to move in with Grandma and Grandpa Lemmon for a while.

In May of 1970, while getting situated into a trailer park, my brother was born. My last memories there were bad experiences in kindergarten . Life at home was fine, but school was close to hell, if not hell itself . I remember getting in trouble for drawing a naked picture of Santa Claus, getting beat up by girls, and experiencing a rupture when some bullies dropped me from a teeter-totter -- it was quite high, I assure you. And let me tell you, I was glad when we bought a house in 1973 in Newton Falls, Ohio 44444 (their town slogan - Newton Falls has ZIP!). My Lemmon Grove stories are based on growing up in Newton Falls .

Life was relatively normal for a kid who wore thick, black-framed glasses and too short plaid pants until 6th grade. With that said, my life has never been normal -- not for a minute. I actually hired a bodyguard using my lunch money just to make it safely from class to class between bells in 8th grade. At age 14, I was asked what I planned to be when I grew up by a science teacher. I said I wanted to be a rock star and he laughed in my face. It didn't stop me; I practiced singing in my room almost all the time and got pretty good too… but I didn't look the part of a rock star. I was skinny. People told me so on a daily basis. Girls I had crushes on said I looked anything but cool.
