deepest of bows to you my old friend.  We had some interesting times from Germany to the berry patch where we rolled the car... You kept popping up in my mind all weekend wondering how you were ... life is short.

Eric that is a very interesting life.  I appreciate being able to read about what you experienced.  I come to this site occasionally to see if anyone is still alive and saying anything.  Now i'm thinking it would be very neat if more of the folks would write a few paragraphs about their experiences:  good and bad.  I've personally learned more from mistakes and 'bad' experiences. Maybe the site managers could set up a share my life center.  I'd love to hear more from you all. Maybe Luther can stimulate some stories.  Do good things for yourself and others.

David; I agree that academic intelligence is not the most important thing and yet its helpful.  Having compassion, love and wisdom as the primary view through which a person sees their world is the most important.  Years ago I was teaching a goal setting class and wondered how long we all lived in hours.  The average age was 76 at the time.  657,000 hours and I sleep a lot of it... and half of it was already gone! And now I've turned 80 and it's good to see some of the folks from the class of 63 are still sucking air and doing hopefully, well.  I goggled Luther and could find nothing to share.  How have each of your lives unfolded?
