was born to Edward & Melba Stinkovich in the early 1800's after they
had immigrated from the old
country. Stinky was a rambunctious youth who's one brush with the law had
been a conviction for suicide which was overturned on appeal.
- As a young adult he enrolled in Yale University where he was a shoe in as a
member of the Skull
& Bones Fraternity. But soon he had to leave
collegiate life to serve his parents adopted country in the war to end all wars.
- Enlisting in the Marine Corps, he was assigned to protect the south from
the hated Japanese Empire on a PT Boat commanded by a brash young captain from Massachusetts. He served with
distinction as an anchorman second class who's chief mission was to keep the
boat from moving while not in route. He was posthumously awarded several
decorations for exemplary and outstanding anchorage during the conflict.
- At war's end Stinky remained in uniform, but was reassigned to the Los
Alamos national testing facility where he served on the graveyard shift as test
subject D.

"We had an instant bond... to this day I don't know if it was the warm ocean
breeze, the romantic local customs, or the way it seemed all the native
inhabitants just melted away when we looked at each other. Needles to
say, I think I made an impression on her"

Stinky on meeting Olga |
- Honorably discharged from service he took a well earned
vacation at a popular destination of the day. The Bikini Atoll was over
run with service personnel at the time so he "had a blast". While at that
exotic locale he met and fell in love with his wife Olga.
- They were soon wed, but unfortunately, Olga passed away very
young after an heroic bout with death.
- Widowed and without an hair, Stinky went into the only profession in which a
rotting, bitter, college dropout, with youthful indiscretions, and a war record
could excel... national politics. Although only a shell of a man, he has
served the people of America with his, as one colleague put it, "usual Stinky
gravitas". Now he has set his one good eye on the White House and with
your help at the grass roots... actually a few feet below the grass roots... he
is resigned to push up the American spirit and not just daisies any more.
