Dear Cyndi, I grew up in rural Richmond County. My parents were both from Screven Co. and moved to Richmond Co. due to my late father's teaching job with the U.S. Army's Signal School at Fort Gordon. My father was Carl Ernest Reddick and my mother was Evelyn Taylor Reddick. I am related to all of the Reddicks and all of the Flythes in and about Screven Co., sometimes multiply so (the Flythes and Reddicks have intermarried several times). I am related to most of the Taylors and all of the Ushers in Screven and adjacent Effingham county. As to my professional training, I have a B.A. degree in Psychology and Sociology from Augusta College. I then received an award of the M.Sc. degree from Augusta College (now, Augusta State University) in Experimental Biopsychology. I then attended the University of Georgia and studied Comparative Psychology and Primatology in further graduate studies. I failed to complete my studies due to a combination of a bit of 'burnout' and exposure to a intestinal parasite named Blastocystis hominis (this is an organism that you want to avoid - it results in internal bleeding [and, if untreated - often, death]. I then worked at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University for over eight years - involved in drug and ophthalmic research involving non-human primates and other animal models for research into human health problems. Since leaving my employment at Emory Univ., I have worked for one of the world's largest breeders of monkeys. My place of employment lies only about 45 miles from Sylvania. So I am a local (sort of) who has access to various local resources. I am also computer literate - so, I can work my way around most computer matters ( I know how to keep Trash-80, C-64, Amiga, PowerMac, and most PC systems working...). Well, that's who I am...
