Bio

Fair Skin and hair with blue eyes. Grew up in the 1960’s and 70’s in Upstate NY where sun protection was not really practiced intensively. Played a lot of sports and spent much time outside in the summer as we all did in those pre internet and cable TV days. I remember that I had a few peeling burns as a kind but as a teen and adult took better care because I realized I was not going to really tan anyway. Never used a tanning bed ever. Have about 20 moles on my body, not a great deal in terms of numbers but one just decided to go bad.
