Tom has been my life partner for going on 25 years now. He was chosen 2 years in a row as the students favorite faculty member - teaching philosophy & film at MIU in th early 80's. For sure I'm his biggest cheerleader and I've contributed my life with no regrets. Who self publishes & ask for donations? A sanyansin, who else. Tom writes for himself and the few people that can grok it. He's actually dumbed this down quite a bit. But who is going to publish a book that is 750 pages and few people would understand. An editor friend of ours wanted Tom to write a book on the Gita a few years back. Kendra eventually wrote the book herself after Tom's was turned down.... the publishers were impressed but needed something for the masses. Tom just not do sound bites. He won't say something is true if it's only 85% probable that it is so it doesn't read like an Ayn Rand book 100% black or 100% white There are pictures of us here http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=gypsyjanluise smaller picture here on the for you ickyweb site http://www.corespirituality.com/fellows.html I don't actually remember you as a personality but I guess we played hooky together one afternoon at the first Squaw Valley course '68, going to Tahoe in someones van. My roommate at the Christmas '67 Asilomar Course was a very shy girl named Karen Tjsomethingnagel, you eventual x-wife i guess. Quite a suprise to come back to the US in 75 and see the flashy Karen Wright, Registrar at miu.
