CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, connect with people of different cultures, and possibly to be of service to people.

ABOUT ME

I am a 78 year old man (as of 2017), still fit and active, divorced 12 years. I have traveled to 38 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia. I am politically active (anti-war, defeating corporate-controlled free trade agreements, helping homeless), and am interested in world peace and connecting with people of other cultures.
I enjoy hiking, swimming, singing, listening to classical and jazz, good conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an agnostic and humanist and feminist, and I lean toward being a socialist. I strongly believe in equal rights for all, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. I strive for honesty and frankness in my dealings with other people, and would like that in return.
