We had a whole commune. All the kids raised together, so I had like two dozen siblings and lots of parents! Got here, heard about the Responders, and thought: that's for me! It's like my moms always said: when everybody pitches in, there's nothing we can't do together."

live in a settlement out in what used to be Kentucky, I guess. Maybe it still is Kentucky? I don't know, I tried reading some old geography text books as a kid, seemed like a waste of time now, though."

From Knob Creek to Hodgenville we roamed, carefree and courageous, irresponsible and completely inseparable. It was, for a little boy, the perfect existence."
