I was born in Connecticut and moved my family to Texas when I was 5. I lived in Texas till I moved to Arkansas at age 64.

On my last job, which I began just before my 50th birthday, we had a pretty young staff and I was among the older employees and I was sometimes teased about not being a "real Texan". I usually replied "I got here before you did!" and that usually settled things.
