About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about the people I encounter and the experiences they've had..

ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing, enjoy learning about people. I like to hear about places people have traveled.

PHILOSOPHY

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. That pretty much sums it up. I don't like to be around narrow minded people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movie.....I suppose it might be The Apartment. Hard to list just one. I'm a sucker for movies where the nerdy guy gets the girl.
Music....U2, Dylan, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Springsteen, Jimmy Cliff.
Books....mostly history and travel books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen so many places in the world I never dared to dream of ever seeing as a kid. A few travel moments: In the small town of Eger, Hungary during a city celebration the headline band starting out with a Beatles cover...Back in the USSR. Humbled by Auschwitz, Dachau, Terezin, Lidice, Normandy beaches. Inspired by the friendliness and kindness of people toward me wherever I've been.
