I
was born
on November 10th, 1970; hence, Nov. Rain.
Me - 1988. Me - baby.
Originally
born in Texas, on Lackland Air Force base; which is located
in San Antonio. My father, as you probably already guessed,
was in the military. An enlisted officer who rose to the rank
Staff Sergeant. A very kind but strict man.
I was introduced to "the world of fantasy" as a child by my
father. Introduced to not only the magic of Disney but the
arts of Boris and other fine artists. My father was a book
collector and had rows of books. many of which were Fantasy.
Walking down his collection was like entering another world,
with paintings and posters of fantasy to books like the Hobbit
(A book which is not only my favorite but highly recomended
for those who have not yet read it.).
by special request
by my mom no picture of my dad will be shown .

the many posters in his book room will be shown
(by Boris my Dad's
favorite artist)

My
mother's
name was also Carola, so I was named after her, partly. I
have a sister who is 2 1/2 years younger than me. Her name
is Cherri and she is very special to me.
My sister (below) and
me (top).
She
was my best playmate.We would play
with our dolls and stuff animals , but our favorite game was
make-believe. As children we had a great imagination. We made
up some characters for ourselves and for hours would jump
on Daddy's sawhorse and pretend we were great warriors and
sorcerors riding off to save a world filled with magic and
mysterious danger.

I also
have a brother, Bear, who is ten years younger than me. But
the most special person in my life is my Nana. I was also
named after her, Elouise Elma Hunt. Because she hated Elouise
she insisted they name me Louise.
My Nana, my son and
me.
She was known to all
as "Nana" and loved very much.
