1943 Mom conceives me and my twin. My twin dies inutero around the 6th month and is mostly miscarried. Mom however stayed pregnant with me. 
1944 I was born the following year in Feb. 1944 and weighed in around 5 lbs 5 oz. About 20 minutes after I was born, my dead still born twin who died inutero about 2 months after conception, came forth...surprising the doctors and everyone else..I was blessed to have been born in a catholic hospital with praying nuns and a incubator. In my hosptial record, retrieved in 1963, was a notation by a nun, that God told her to stop in and see how I was doing. She had to 'restart' me as I had just quit breathing.
1949 I came down with juvenile rhueatoid arthritis in my right knee, but the symptoms were similir to those in children sufferring from the Polio Epidemic at that time. I was taken to Los Angeles County General Hospital (now USC-LAC) and placed into the polio ward, where I resided for 10 days. I remember seeing those  'IRON LUNG' machine. Adults were no immune to the Poilo either as severl came down with it. Years later that 'Polio' would be known as Infantile Paralysis. After 10 days in the Polio Ward, I was moved to the arthritis ward, because the doctors thought I had Rheumatoid Arthritis.... Several days later I was dicharged from the hospital..
1955 My neighbor, Kenny Smith (Class of 1962, Sylmar High) sets me up to be electrocuted at age 11. It worked. I was electrocuted, but not harmed.

I suppose that could be termed the first time I had ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY, 110 volts 4 amps
 

1959 Dad tells me to go outside and turn out night light for back yard. I tell him the line has a electrical short in it and I do not want to go turn it out. I go outside, flip switch, see bright blueishwhite flash and wake up a few minutes later over 15 feet away from where I had been standing.

I suppose that could be termed the second time I had ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY, .220 Volts amps 5+. I had burn marks on the bottom of one foot and was thrown over 15 feet.

Dad complains that I took too long to turn out light an what else had I been up too?
 

1967 or 1968 While working at West Coast Forge,  a forklift operator raises the forklift boom too high and rips out an electrical wire that has 400 Volts and 55 AMPS. The wire drops downward, arcing to evrything within a foot or so, until the machine I am using quits. I tunr towards the maintncemen who are looking at me. I mutter 'what now God', holding my hand outward, plams facing up. The elctrical wire hits my hands and the line goes dead. I hear a noise at the back of my machine. I run around there to see what the noise was caused by. It seems the circuit breaker carrying the line had broken off at all four of the bolts holding it in. The maintence men, Moses (Moe) and Charlie (Charles Jay who later becomne a Evangelist and then Preacher) said simulataneously, "Its a miracle you are alive'

I suppose that could be termed the third time I had ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY..
440 Volts 55 Amps and I never felt a thing, because as soon as the line touched me, it blew out.

BEE'S In 1990, a queen bee decides to visit my place and plants herself with all her 1/4 million buddies on my front window, AFTER some jerk(s)  (BREN TEN & HAWKEYE ) calls me to tell me they will be over in a few minutes with 'to settle the score''..So he shows up and there are 100 of thousands of bees waiting there.

Guess who the bee's go after if you disturb them? 

1992 Same jerk and this time though there are at least as many as three times the number of bees, as they have done a complete ''wrap-a-arond'' of my place. He drives up, makes U-TURN and ''peels rubber'' leaving.

Guess who the bee's go after if you disturb them?
