| Introduction | Known to some as "GrandNed." Proud of the achievements of the Buxton Family. A native Texan, raised in the Episcopal Church in Texas and then New England before coming back South. An athlete of some talent who lettered in football, hockey and lacrosse. Went to Ole Miss earning a degree in Anthropology and became a Sig Ep. A student of history and tribal art to especially include African, Native American/First Nation Peoples and Mesoamerican cultures. Celebrate my Norman & Scottish roots and was active as a Judge of Scottish Highland Athletics for 25+ years. Volunteer with Dallas American Red Cross and support the Children's Miracle Network. Human Resource Consultant with 25+ years in the discipline. Old enough to know better though like to express my opinion at times. Bottom line: Love of People and Cultures from all over the world. |
