This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

France, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Village Houses, 2000 - Most Americans would be surprised to know there is a French territory in North America. St. Pierre and Miquelon is a small enclave off of the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, but still very much a part of France.

Ghana, Accra Airport, 2000 - In 1987 I traveled across Ghana the old fashioned way, by car and train. In 2003 I had a stop over at the airport. I was surprised to see such interesting architecture in this new airport building.

India, White Tiger, 1984 - In the zoo in Calcutta, I saw a White Tiger for the first time. But that was not all. They also had Tigons and Ligers, to my amazement. A Tigon was the result of breeding a male Tiger with a female Lion. A Liger was the result of breeding a male African lion with a female Bengal tiger. I felt terribly sorry for these noble, caged, animals. I spoke to this White Tiger of my empathy. Oddly, it seemed to understand the feeling I was trying to convey.
