About the Author
When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran, my first born son, is now permanently disabled suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and his mother is now an ardent peace activist.
Today I am active with Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and on the board of Rural Organizing Project Also, I am CEO of Rogue River Wind, Ltd and the inventor of a low profile wind turbine incorporating a high bandwidth generator developed with Portland State University.

The Rural Organizing Project (ROP) is holding its annual retreat. As a new board member, I am much looking forward to this brainstorming session the primary topic being sustainability. Not just ecological or economic sustainability but sustainability of a movement as in maintaining momentum, energy and focus.
Members from all over the state will be attending. Topics are wide ranging and include how ROP and its member groups can maximize their productivity to the betterment of all of rural Oregon.
Will report back as time permits
