About

I am a humanitarian and I care about all who live on this planet. Having always worked helping people in whatever organization I was with, I have learned a lot about the human species. It continues to fascinate and perplex me. How can we have such a dichotomy on this planet? It just frustrates me to see all the pain that man continues to inflict on man. It just does not seem logical to me... I have observed people all my life and knew at an early age I was meant to study the human race. In reaching this stage of my life, I hope to leave somewhat of a legacy for my six grandchildren in writing a book about relationships. I know already they are way beyond in their intelligence and perceptions that I was at their ages. They are our saviors and I want to leave them some tools to survive the relationship maze in life...and my unconditional love...
