TUCSON, AZ

In June of 2021, Sal suffered a stroke. He resides in Lifecare Center of Tucson,6211 N. Cholla Blvd.,Tucson, AZ 85741

I have updated his profile to the current date and have updated appropriate data to the best of my knowledge.

"The previous profile was full of untruths! though abandoned by my children I am not living under a bridge in Tucson, I did live under a bridge in Lemburg Germany (true story); also, no body would come by and feed me! There is a quintessential Gottessman profile of me in the pictorial section of HOB, in fact the only pic of me, must be an exclusionary ethnic thing!

So on to my profile, visual all of us as Animal House and I be the one on the motorcycle always in military attire who at the end of the movie know one hears from him nor knows what happened. So here's what happened: no accumulation of letters of the alphabet, no hard earned position in firms no long hours creating successful practices. No, winter 1969 the first draft lottery 6/20 is pulled 360; spring 1970 Crane gets my car towed at the Kent State demonstration in DC(half truth); still spring or was it summer, I quit my job, cash in my city retirement, sell my Carmen Ghia and though many say they were going I fly off to Europe on my own... on my own. I am so long winded I stop people when I shop and go on and on and on...

Oh yeah my profile:

I buy a 500cc Triumph Daytona and tour thru England, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Northern Germany. In Germany a machen a falsch with a spark plug replacement and am towed 50 miles behind a BMW bike.

Hitchhike thru Germany, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, ride thru France, train thru France Spain and Morocco; come back hitch hike thru Canada to Marin City where I again embrace Crane; continue my dissolute life of sex, drugs, alcohol, sex and rock and roll; again it's all my brothers and Cranes fault(mostly true) ; moved down to Monterrey Bay area as a commercial squid fisherman; went down there with a woman who wouldn't put up with my s... and she is my wife and eternal companion 43 years.

Tasia and I found my God who would put up with me; after a stint as a prison guard at Soledad, running an apple orchard and other etc., I joined the Army in 1976; I found my gift as a counselor and my favorite sandbox: group!

So I spent 13 years working in drug and ETOH; senior NCO, officers, dependents and senior civilians; so I gave the Army 13 years, I got 5 children: Galadriel Anna, Damien Ciro, Adam Truman, Ajalon Joi, Lorien Elisabeth; a BS in Sociology; 13 years as an Ed Norton moving thru the emotional sewers of so many; got to live in Alaska 3 yrs, Germany 5 yrs, NJ and Brooklyn pretty exotic no, eh!

I am boring me, so I got out in Sierra Vista Az, went to work at Sierra Tucson; began a private practice; became a hired gun working at multiple tx facilities in Tucson; did experiential workshops nation-wide with my partners from Sierra Tucson; then business contracted, retired 9 years ago after being laid off 3 times in 5 years or 5 times in 3 years; last job was so telling, drug and ETOH counselor at the rehab prison for non-violent drug related offences (ha, ha, ha) ; so final count 1 wife 49 years; 5 children; 8 grandchildren; 1 BS; 1 MS; 1 Honorable Discharge; 1 DeMarco Counseling Services, 19 years closed;

I told you I talk strangers' into boredom comas!"
