Harold Ames - I am 55 years old. I was born in Evanston, IL and moved to Oakland, CA when I was 13.  I attended Trinity College in Deerfield, IL majoring in English. I have lived in many parts of the US and spent 3 years in the Philippines. I have written several short stories which have been used for English as Second Language classes to Korean students. I currently reside in Indianapolis, IN with my wife and daughter.
