| Your personal background. | |
| Born and lived in Michigan for over 50 years, I now live in Scotland. I am a warrior, the eldest son, of the eldest son, of the eldest son. Like countless generations of Scots before me, I was raised on, in, and of the land. I learned to till the soil at my fathers knee. I also learned of honor, honesty, and service by my parents example. When called to serve in 1969 I joined the USAF and unknowingly stepped off the path to happiness and success in "20th Century America." My hope for the future was kept alive by the likes of Gene Rodenberry, Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov, et. al. until three losses (my dog, my father, my wife) overwhelmed me in the middle of the last decade of the 20th century. In my search for meaning and a more relevant survival strategy I discovered the "Declaration of Arbroth." Suddenly it became clear to me who I am and where I come from. I am the product of a long chain of culture and tradition. Because 20th century America seems to revile culture and tradition I sought others who reveled in the history that makes each of us so fascinating and unique. Eventually I discovered the MacFarlanes Company, a living history troupe from Toledo, Ohio. MacFarlanes Company is a volunteer organization that uses Living History presentations to teach people, primarily about the rich history and culture of Scotland and the Scottish diaspora in North America. By their efforts in 2003, MacFarlanes Company will raise funds to support the outstanding stewardship and preservation work done by The National Trust for Scotland. The Company and the NTS work together to encourage an understanding and appreciation of Scotland's unique heritage on both sides of the Atlantic. http://www.macfarlanescompany.org/Who/index.html | |

| The Almighty Lecturer, by displaying the principles of science in the structure of the universe, has invited man to study and to imitation. It is as if He had said to the inhabitants of this globe, that we call ours, "I have made an earth for man to dwell upon, and I have rendered the starry heavens visible, to teach him science and the arts. He can now provide for his own comfort, AND LEARN FROM MY MUNIFICENCE TO ALL, TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER." ~ Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason | |
