Horace, you’re from Wisconsin but your parents live in Kansas or Missouri, I think you’ve told the story before but tell us how that came about.

Ask my mom. They had a kid and then adopted one. They adopted the one because they thought they might never have the third. They really wanted kids. Then I was the third.

Right but we’re your parents originally from WI? Or did they just move there for a spell?
My mom is from CO and my dad is from KS. My parents actually lived in San Francisco for a while, and Japan, while my dad was in the Air Force via the ROTC. But he's a veterinarian by training from Kansas State, and at some point was offered an opportunity to work at the University of WI, at its primate research center. He was the monkey surgeon. That all happened before I was born, so I'm from WI. My parents retired back to where my dad was born, when I was in my late 20s. It's a bit confusing between KS and MO because they are right on the border. They didn't really retire though for another 10 years. My dad worked at a local pet clinic, and my mom worked as a nursing professor at a local college.

My mom is COVID positive. Strange since the disease isn't prevalent there. We don't know how it happened. She had a cough when we talked on the phone today. My dad is doing better. My mom is only worried about my dad and whether she'll give it to him. Not a bit about herself. My dad hasn't been tested. Now they're social distancing in their home. My mom keeps to one room and my dad to another. He's independent so it's all ok for now.

@Horace Sending good thought to your mom, dad and you!!!
