Graduating from UCLA and USC, I thought I had seen it all.  My life passions for peace and love were well entrenched.  The reality of Uncle Sam's infamous 1969 draft lottery opened my eyes.  But nothing like the last 40 years. 

My personal story isn't more or less meaningful than anyone elses.  With bills to pay and kids to raise, I compromized my youthful zeal.  I always thought I maintained my standards and not fallen prey to The Establishment.  But, I Bought In.  I am not justifying or rationalizing my behaviour.  I am allowing myself to regroup, retool and rework the rest of my life for the betterment of my family and whatever I can contribute to society.

I am blessed with a loving wife of 30 years and six terriffic children.  I currently live in Ohio but my heart is asea.
