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 relativistic generator

Rural Organizing Project and more…

Attended a board meeting of ROP Saturday in Salem which is always informative, useful and exhausting. ROP will hold its annual caucus on April 26 this year in Hood River.

On the way back, Dian Courtright and I met Carl Foster and his daughter Kaycee Faught in Eugene at Sacred Heart Hospital. Kaycee is a delightful young woman, very bright and she clearly loves her father very much and I took some photos which I will put up here. It was very moving to watch him struggle to communicate with everyone and how much he uses his eyes and facial expressions. It was very clear how much he loves his daughter as well.
