Mark Sinatra

Dec. 19/Thu., 2024 (updated): This is not my first TS account. My previous account that I had for many years disappeared one day so I had to create this new one. I am a retired Structural Engineer and professor of engineering mechanics and engineering physics. Karen, my late wife (she passed away in August 2017), was a financial analyst. Karen and I both grew up in nudist families; she was and I am a third-generation nudist and our children and their families have continued as nudists. My maternal grandparents had a 500 acre farm in Kansas from the 1920s to the 1970s and from the 1930s to the 1970s operated a nudist camp on 15 acres of their farm. Karen and I have four children: Sons who are 34 and 43, and daughters who are 37 and 40. I have an older (by 2 years) brother, William ("Bill"); a twin sister, Beth, a widow; and a younger (by 2 years) sister, Mary. They and their families are still nudists. Karen's family are still nudists: a brother, Tom, (10 years older) and two sisters, Ellen and Marsha, (6 and 4 years older); they and their families are still nudists. Karen and I both had swinging in our DNA as both Karens parents and my parents were in the same wife swapper group in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Karen and I started swinging while we were in college (early and mid-1970s) and never stopped.
