Russell Harper IIBorn in Wooster, Ohio, the son of Russ and Fran Harper. I am the oldest of four, two sisters, Shelly and Lori, and a brother named Heath. I was raised in Mansfield, Wooster, and Perrysville, Ohio. After high school, I decided to join the US NAVY wher I became a Boiler Technician onboard the USS England until 1978. I have been married to my wonderful wife Cathy, the daughter of Chuck and Nancy Emerson since 1979. We have known each other since we were just little kids (our parents grew up in the same area). We have three children Wesslee, Desiree, and Crystal. After retiring from the navy, and the pottery as well, we moved to Arizona. Our son Wesslee, and our oldest daughter Desiree, were both in the navy at the time and we only had Crystal, our youngest. After some years in production, I am now a security guard with a defense contractor. I have believed in God and have been a born again follower of Jesus Christ since church camp in my teens. I have and always believe Jesus Christ is one and the same as God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. I study prayer and have multiple conversations with my Lord through Jesus Christ our Savior. I have adopted the acronym "YFICA" (Your Friend In Christ Always) because it is an ever standing truth within me, and to anyone I come across in life! Read More Read Less
