    Born in Liberal, KS, mother was a life-long American citizen, as were her parents and grandparents on both sides. She was born in Liberal, KS, grew up in Cheyenne, WY, and completed her freshman year of college at Philips University in Enid, OK. She then transferred to the University of Denver where she completed her Bachelor's in English, and met my father, Morton (NMN) Roth. She moved to the country cattle ranching area between Colorado Springs and Parker, Colorado, where she taught ranch kids all subjects in a two room school house. She taught grades 5-8. After two years, she married my father and moved to Denver. They soon moved to Tucson, where my father worked for Martin-Marietta as a procedures writer for the space program. Mother started her Master's at U of A during this time. They then moved to San Jose, CA for my father to take a job with Lockheed as a procedures writer for the space program. My brother and I were born in San Jose, as previously described. My parents divorced in 1969, and my brother and I moved to Cheyenne with our maternal grandparents, while mother moved back to Tucson to finish her Master's degree. She soon met my step father, Melvin Frank Norvelle, through playing tournament bridge. They married in 1972.

  • Religious Beliefs

    Mother was raised in the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, and was president of her Christian Youth Fellowship at First Christian Church in Cheyenne, WY. She went off to college and quickly became a lapsed Christian, and eventually, she claimed to be an atheist, but really was more of an agnostic. Two nights before she died she decided she'd been wrong, and received Christ. She was very afraid that she waited too long, and it would be too late for Christ to accept her. I assured her that if Jesus could be on the cross and tell the criminal next to Him that, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise," then she wasn't too late.
