I left the Bay Area when I was eighteen, was on the road until returning for school in Portland, OR and moved to Southern Oregon in 1978 after graduating. Did the living off the land thing for three years poorly and moved into Grants Pass in 1981. It has not be all dull, motorcycles are a passion and trips to Europe, Mexico, Tunisia, and around the country gave an insight and experience different from any other as well as my being an instructor for CLASS Motorcycle Schools to this day. My parents never went to synagogue, but I always felt Judaism as part of my presence in life. There are large gaps here, but I have always wondered why or where I would meet someone who understood and shared that sense while living in Southern Oregon. I wanted kids and have been a single dad twice. My daughter is seventeen now, fifteen years of her raising me with a lot of help from family and good friends. I've got to tell you, this was my fate chosen role in life, one which I would never give up. The satisfaction of seeing your children become wonderful people has no equal, except now I can see a goal line coming up and so it is time to start looking around the corner.

I see a need for self respect and respect of me and mine with large does of strength and compassion. Men and women are people first and two people that belong with each other should expect love and support. Both people have to be responsible to maintain communication in both directions. It is a sad event that most loves are destroyed by the need to feel wanted and respected, yet most of us assume that mind reading is a given talent. A friend once told me that being right does not make you correct and it has been a hard lesson to learn.
