I am retiring in about 3 weeks. At that point I can express my political opinions freely without worrying about the effect on my job.
I plan to do so.
I am going to be 62 at the end of January. I was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1953, My father was a divinity student, studying to be a minister.
He was a fighter pilot in World War II, flying P-51s out of Wormingford, a base in East Anglia. He thought the war was something that had to be fought, but also thought we should strive to find other ways to run the world.
His first church was in Norris, Tennessee. We moved there in 1955. He go involved in the integration movement in the south. This was unpopular in rural Tennessee at the time, and with my mother's health problems and the threats to the family he moved to Gunnison, Colorado in 1959.
He remained a liberal, preaching frequently against the VietNam war and in support of social justice.
I am married to the love of my life, Zori. She has shown me many things I did not know about social justice even with my liberal background.
Soon I will start writing on this blog about various political and social issues.
More to come...
