My name is Raymond Whiteside. I have a Degree in Engineering.

I am a full-blood of the Cherokee Nation. I was adopted as a baby by a caring white couple who raised me and educated me in the white man’s way while allowing me to take my own path as well.

I married a wonderful white woman who actually really does look more like an Indian then I do. She’s one pretty lady and her people come from France. Which I find kind of funny for personal reasons.

We have two pretty daughters, so you know already that they take after their Mother, and two fine, strong, handsome sons that I think might belong to the milk man.  Just kidding.   They are both grown now and must live away from here while attending different colleges.

We live alone on our place in the mountains blessed by the Gods. We are happy with our lives and our children have made us proud too. (They have also made me a little crazy).
