InfoBorn, 1952, in Russell County, Alabama, to parents Clyde F. and Dorothy (Woods) Layfield, both of Phenix City, Alabama.



Was graduated 1966, Saint Patrick’s Catholic School, grade one through eight, Phenix City, Alabama.



Was graduated,1970, at Phenix City’s Central High School and entered Sheet Metal Worker’s Union, working along-side Parent and Sheet Metal Union worker Clyde F. Layfield.



Volunteered, March 1971, for the United States Navy and for Vietnam, the War Against Communism. Assigned to Advanced Underwater Warfare School and USS, H.W.Gilmore, AS-16, until, August 1973, returning Stateside, Service-Connected disabled in the line of duty. There was the Citation from the Commanding Officer and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Submarine Captain, G.R.Bryan, expressing his congratulations and recognition of the responsibility taken, in the Spring of 1972, for outstanding emergency contributions to a magnificent shipboard effort and for achieving the operational-goal, pointing out that “You may be justly proud of the fine results of your work which are in keeping with highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. Well done”!



Began,1976, civilian commercial flight training under the G.I. Bill. Was graduated, June 1984, from flight instructor school. Was chief pilot of Layfield’s Flying Services in Smith’s, Alabama. After carrying over five hundred passengers and logging eight hundred hours flight time, one flight was hit, 11 April 1985, in Alabama. The two choices: Not to report and allow him or others like him to go and do the same thing to somebody else, possibly in a bigger way or write a report and surely lose the commercial pilot license over it. Filed the report in the certain expectation that, with the truth being stranger than fiction, the authorities would take the license. Flight Safety Data Branch: “Passenger-Control Interference”, by passenger, Masin Sultan, an Islamic-Muslim from Syria. The FAA decided three things: Layfield, the Pilot In Command who’s Report of Passenger-Control Interference, as the reason for the crash, was only to cover-up poor piloting ability, number one; number two, to revoke the commercial pilot certificate; number three, that any action the Islamic-Muslim passenger may have taken aboard the aircraft, at the time the aircraft crashed into a fixed object, was only taken by this passenger with the sole intent of preventing an even worse disaster than the one that occurred.



Began taking college courses again. 1989, transferred to Auburn University and was graduated with the class of 1994, with a degree in English and technical writing. The job-offer to write for the Boeing Aerospace Engineers disappeared along with thousands of aerospace jobs after the 1994 Free-Trade Legislation passed in Congress.



Married, March 1999, in Lee County, Alabama, to Otilia Erghelegiu of Constanta, Eastern Europe. Daughter, Audrey Liv, born, June 2001, in Lee County, Alabama, baptized at Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Phenix City, Alabama, where the family attends the Church. The now Independent Congressional Nominee and Mrs. Layfield worked during 1999, in Phenix City, Alabama, as the assistants to the fund-raising director for the Mother Mary Mission Catholic Church Fund-Raising Campaign. February 2003, the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Atlanta, Georgia, served an INS Federal Judge’s Order of Emergency Deportation on Mrs. Layfield, revoked her work permit, called the Supervisor at her Employer, the State of Alabama, Unemployment Compensation Office, who was then compelled to terminate her employment. INS people issued and served this Order for the reason of income, that her Husband, the petitioner, reported a joint-income of less than 19,000.00 dollars per-year, not sufficiently great enough for INS requirements for a family of three. 30 January 2004, at the Removal Hearing, the Council for INS at Federal Judge Johnson’s Court stated his intention of not defending the INS accusations nor to argue in support of deportation and motioned to readjust the Status of the petitioner’s wife from Deportation to Permanent Resident Status and to therefore restore her work permit. February 2003, at the Montgomery, Alabama Congressional Office, Mr. Layfield’s District Three U.S. Representative, told him “There is nothing I am going to do” and that he should “go ask a U.S. Senator to intervene for your wife’s Immigration problem and your Family’s one year-old daughter.” December 2004, Mrs.Layfield began receiving State of Alabama, Department of Veteran’s Affairs reimbursements for all tuition and books while enrolled in Auburn University pre-requisite courses, on the basis of her Husband’s Naval Service-Connected Disability Status. In late 2005, Mrs.Layfield completed, Organic Chemistry, the last of the pre-requisite courses for Pharmacy School and received her Auburn University School of Pharmacy Letter of Admission.
