Ph: 850-***-****

Born 24 May, 1946, Munich, Germany. Mother German, biological father U.S. Army Sargent who did not acknowledge fatherhood due to General Eisenhower's non-fraternization decree.

Early Education: Freie Waldorfschule Munich, Grades 1-9, 1952-1961; English and French from 1st Grade onward, Latin starting in 5th.

Was adopted by J. Richard Martineau in 1953. My mother, stepfather and infant half-brother left for USA in early 1955. I remained in Germany with maternal grandparents "until the end of the school year." Instead, I remained behind until my maternal grandfather died in early 1960. At that point, I turned myself into a part-time juvenile delinquent. I was a model student in school, but was uncontrollable by grandmother. She relented eventually and paid for my passage from Bremerhaven to New York City in June of 1961. After 6 1/2 years, I finally joined my family in Silver Spring, Maryland via the S.S. America of the United States Lines. (Won the shuffleboard tournament on the way over. Prize: cigarette lighter. Useful: I smoked filter-less Pall Malls.) I had a visitor visa in my German youth passport with a note from Donald P. Black of the U.S. Consulate in Munich. "Visiting parents." Six months after my arrival, I obtained a Certificate of U.S. Citizenship from the Immigration and Naturalization office in Baltimore. By virtue of my adoption by an American citizen, I could forego naturalization and nullify my "visit."

I finished Grade 10 at Northwood High School in Wheaton, and 11 and 12 at DuVal Senior High School in Glenn Dale near the Goddard Space Flight Center. I acted in some plays, was a member of the Speakers Bureau of the United World Federalists, won two Science Fairs, and served as Senior Class President.
