...Formative years seethed with the movements and the passions of turbulent sixties on a chaotic west coast. Aliens and UFOs are the least of what was going on. I questioned, as many did, the price of ceremony's horn of plenty. I crossed my arms at the guile implied by custom's laurel tree...

...The innocence of those sixties, then, was lost to me at last even as it is to be replaced by something else. Still, the Woodstock movement seemed to have failed, or it failed me ... perhaps I even failed it, but I foolishly did what all young romantics foolishly do in the face of a perceived betrayal; I joined the *Legion*, and went off to fight in a foreign war.

Enlisting and qualifying for Army flight training at the height of the "Viet Namese" iteration of the never-ending war, I flew a thousand hours in combat and marked time to uneasy infinity. Later on I picked up the hard jobs, the ones no one else wanted -- finding satisfactions in them. Race/human relations, Cadet Officer Training, and counseling were major occupations in addition to expert flight duties. Ironically, on many levels, Human Relations were the focus of my twenty-three year military career.

I married and sired a child. I remain married.

I refused my last promotion to settle where I'd washed up after decades of tedious world travel. In the interim, I'd earned a special education teaching credential and attempted a necessary, unquestionably honorable and useful 2nd occupation. It was not to be. Divergent politics, age discrimination, and UFOs ended that stillborn exercise before I got started when I was fired for using Ufology as an interest vehicle for the students.

Now? My long term goal is a continuing exploration of the space, time, and surface area provided me, not limited to word, paint, music, or evolving technologies accelerating to the speed of light. Folks are welcome on the ride.

Closing, I'm a person attentive to UFOs and their ancillaries because inattention seems unintelligent, unprogressive, and unbrave." Presently I write a monthly commentary for UFO Magazine... Thanks for reading... Read on.
