Biography. I was born in Washington DC on 2/15/51. I was the first-born of
five of a career Army officer. The first half of my life was spent moving
from one military post to another all over the United States; I lived for
four years in Asia. My wife (also an Army brat) and I moved to Hartford CT
in June of 1975.
I enlisted in the United States Armed Forces after graduation from high
school in 1969. I volunteered for service in Vietnam as a combat medic from
1970-71. 
On my return I joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. I am currently
president of the Central Connecticut Chapter of Veterans for Peace; we have
an active teaching program in the Greater Hartford schools for nonviolence
and conflict resolution. I was a co-founder of the HYPERLINK
"http://php.iupui.edu/~hdonle/vera_home.html" \nVeterans Educational
Resources Agency (VERA), which organizes presentations in schools throughout
Connecticut and Western Massachusetts on diverse issues, such as the impact
of the Vietnam War on its veterans and on U.S. society.  The VERA website
can also be reached via the HYPERLINK "http://www.hartfordpl.lib.ct.us"
\nHartford Public Library website -- click on "community" on the home page,
then enter "veterans" in the search box for the Hartford Community
Information Database.)
I hold a BA in History (1997) from Central Connecticut State University,
with a minor in Communications. I work as an assistant librarian at the
Hartford Public Library.  
I was a lifelong Democrat until 1996, when I joined the Green Party. I feel
that the Democrats have abandoned their principles and are indistinguishable
from the Republicans.
Education issues:
I have four daughters. Three graduated from Hartford Public High School, one
is currently at Hartford Public High. I am the Executive Secretary of the
Hartford Public High School PTSO (Parent Teacher Student Organization) and a
member of the Noah Webster PTA (Parent Teacher Association). I have for
years regularly attended public Hartford Board of Education meetings. I have
insisted on parent participation and timely communication from the
administration at the Hartford Board of Education. I have been a supporter
of teachers and their authority in the classroom along with encouraging
creativity and curriculum development.
