PALM PILOT — Anyone else write important notes on your hand...and then wash it off later?

Old school...

LONG-HAIRED HIPPIE — These are throwback photos of me back in 1972 and 1970. In the color photo I was barely 18 years of age and had already hitch-hiked thousands of miles around North America.

What’s really crazy is that 7 years after this photo was taken, I started working with the Washington Bullets/Wizards...becoming one of the first Chaplains in the history of the NBA.

I had to confront a whole lot of juvenile behavior/thinking during those 84 months between 18 and 25 years of age.

I had left home as a rebel without a pause...from Three Hills, Alberta (Canada) at 17 with my friend, Bob Kirk. Prior to this photograph I had traveled across North America from California to Maine in the summer of 1972.

If I were to locate my scrapbook and show some “Verbal Snapshots” of my adventures while on the road, they would include:

——
1. Trying to hitch a ride, twenty miles from civilization, in the middle of the Canadian Rocky Mountains with a road-closing snowstorm brewing. (Anxious)

2. Valiantly selling magazines in Vancouver, British Columbia, trying to make a buck. (Disillusioned)

3. Spending almost three weeks in a juvenile detention facility in Portland, Oregon. (Terrified)

4. Trying to hitch a ride for fifteen hours —stuck in Lodi, California. (Frustrated)

5. Shoveling snow from many doorsteps in Seattle, Washington. ($58 richer)

6. Panhandling and shoplifting in Victoria, British Columbia. (Excited)

7. Sleeping beside the road in W**d, California. (Lonely)

8. Sitting in an evening church service as a long-haired hippie, after smoking dope and drinking beer at an afternoon party in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. (Amused)

9. Working as a baker’s helper in a fancy Portland, Maine, restaurant. (Bored)
———
On Sept 10th, 1972 (on a Sunday evening at around 10pm) my whole life changed. At the risk of sounding Pollyanna-ish...an unexpected, profoundly spiritual encounter with the Jesus of the Bible gave me a whole new direction.

That spiritual encounter/decision literally changed the trajectory of my life. And there are a number of people online — from Canada, California, Maine and other parts of the world — who can verify that change.

DEEP SEA FISHING in the BAHAMAS — An annual event for some years. We catch Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Yellow Fin, Bonita, Barracuda and more.

Our crew is called “Le Gulls”. Owner of boat is an attorney. Name of the boat, with three 300 HP engines. A lot of get up and go.

We go out about 32-35 miles. If the fish aren’t biting deep, we start trolling. We keep a watch out for birds diving for small fish. Because wherever the small fish are swimming near the surface, the big fish are lurking underneath.

We cook these for a big dinner on the Grand Cay!!

Out on the water for several days, from early morning til late into the evening.
