I was born south of Juneau, Alaska in a VERY small town called Alexander. I was one of three identical triplets. My brothers, Alex and Zander, named after the city, were the only two expected. So they just stuck me with the name Randy. When we were 1, my brother Alex was killed in a tragic.... ice fishing accident.

We moved to Florida in 97. On the way to school, my brother Zander was hit by a bus and he died. So now I'm the only one left.....



Nah all of that is a complete fabrication. I was born in Bartow, Florida, and grew up in the adjacent city of Fort Meade. I just wanted to seem a bit more interesting. :wink: I was an only child until 2003.

Pascagoula, Mississippi (but the building is now currently in Moss Point, MS - old hospital turned into nursing home, right on the city lines between the two cities).

Guanajay, La Habana, Cuba, March 1, 1987

PS: Thank God it was not a leap year!!!

Image

I was born in the province of Havana because of a structural change Fidel Castro did in the 1970s. Before that, Guanajay was part of Pinar del Río, Cuba's westernmost province. But Fidel decided to give Havana a little more land and decided to create 8 more provinces.

Prior to 1976, Cuba was divided into the following provinces (from west to east):

Pinar del Río
La Habana, contained the present day province of La Habana and included the city of Havana
Matanzas
Las Villas (before 1940, "Santa Clara"), contained the present day provinces of Cienfuegos, Villa Clara and Sancti Spíritus
Camagüey (before 1899, "Puerto Príncipe"), contained the present day provinces of Camagüey and Ciego de Ávila
Oriente (before 1905, "Santiago de Cuba"), contained the present day provinces of Las Tunas, Granma, Holguín, Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo

I was born at Mitchel Field Air Force Base. (near Hempstead, N.Y., Long Island) The base was primarily a troop transport point. My father was a USAF meteorologist. The base closed in 1961 after a series of "spectacular" aircraft crashes. Currently the location is the Cradle of Aviation Museum and Hoffstra University.
