2. SOME SOCIO-BIO-DATA(as of: 2009)

I have been married for 42 years. My wife is a Tasmanian, aged 60. We’ve had 3 children: ages in 2009-42, 39 and 32. I am 65, a Canadian who moved to Australia in 1971 and have written 3 books--all available on the internet free. I retired from full-time teaching in 1999, from part-time teaching in 2003 and from volunteer/casual teaching/work in 2005 after 35 years in classrooms. In addition, I have been a member of the Baha’i Faith for 50 years. Bio-data: 6ft, 225 lbs, eyes-brown, hair-grey, Caucasian. See my website for more details or go the google search engine and type: RonPrice, Pioneering RonPrice, RonPrice Poetry, RonPrice Bahá’í, RonPrice History (or philosophy, religion, media studies, politics, among many other subjects) for additional writings.

Welcome from America!

That's an impressive resume. I feel like I, at about the same age, have done pretty much nothing. I look forward to learning from you.

thanks for your positive response, lemit.-Ron

I hope I can contribute something useful in my occasional appearance here at this science forum. In these years of my late adulthood(60-80) and old age(80++), if I last that long I,too, hope to learn a few things from others here.-Ron

[lemit]

Could you help me with something? I have a thread in the history section titled "We Must Never Forget: Remembering the Holocaust."

I know the Baha'i have suffered possibly more than any other religion--in a very brief time. I don't feel like I'm the right person to tell that story. Could you?

Thanks.

If you go to the official international Baha'i site, lemit, you can find out all you need about the persecution of the Baha'i community. There is much detail there. Write again if you have any puzzles or questions. That site is: bahai.org

[Michaelangelica]

Welcome, yet another Ozzie.

You have the job!

Great now we have almost every OZ state covered.

[RonPrice]

Sadly, Michaelangelica, or rather, not-so-sadly, my days of employment at paid jobs and even unpaid/volunteer jobs(1961-2005) are over. I am now in the evening of my life; the years 65 to 75 are the middle years of late adulthood(60-80)--and I will not be applying for any more jobs or even volunteering for others. But thanks for the courtesy of your offer just the same.-Ron
