I was born in January of 1960 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I was adopted at birth by Charles and Mary Galvin (I was named for my father and my youngest sister is named for my mother). We lived in a suburban neighorhood in the town of Chamblee, which has now been surrounded by development. My parents adopted three more children (all girls!) before my father’s job sent my family to the San Francisco Bay Area in June of 1967
