Early childhood:

	When Trent's parents divorced in the early 1970s, Trent stayed 
with his maternal Grandparents (who raised him) and Tera stayed with her
mother. As a child, Trent was in the Boy Scouts, skateboarded, built 
model planes, and played the piano (according to his grandfather). 
Trent's piano teacher (Rita Beglin) compared Trent's piano playing to 
Harry Connick Jr. In high school Trent was clean cut, handsome and 
popular. He played the tenor sax and keyboards in his high school jazz
and marching bands. He was also voted best in drama by classmates and 
performed in local rock bands.

	No, he was not abused as a child, and has never claimed to be
(even though it seems to be the fashionable thing to do among people these 
days).
