Bio

I am a native of San Francisco California and spent most of my life there. I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I have an accidental acquaintance with a classical education. I do not have a background, by profession or expertise, in matters of political or social importance. I am an ordinary citizen who might fairly be considered an observer of some of the events of the three score years of my life. I have been close enough to some of these events to have take part in them. For example I was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1966 and served two years, never going overseas. I figured out a long time ago that I don’t learn anything while I am talking and so I am quite content most of the time to listen. However it is my judgment that the problems facing the world today are of such a magnitude that they neither can nor will be solved by persons of high position. Like World War II or the Civil Rights movement, only the ordinary individual will determine the outcome. This is my only portfolio and commission for writing anything here or anywhere else.
