ABOUT ME

Well, where does one begin? Am 57, married for 32 years to the same woman, was a social worker for 30 years then 12 years changed careers to be a forest ranger in the Great Smoky Mts. Nat'l Park--cool job by the way! Considered a easy-goig, laid back person who at times is a loner and other times a very social person. Practice Buddhist tenets. Am a military brat so I do like to travel even planning on going to Egypt next year.

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion and loving kindness. If you can, help; if you cannot, do no harm
