Multifarious
I've been fortunate in my life. I've traveled extensively and have had unique opportunities to visit many countries, regions and cultures. These travels have informed my knowledge of people, their culture, food, art and history. Mostly though I have been given perspective.

Real Hero's

I admire many people: His Holiness The Dalai Lama (the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion), Robert F. Kennedy (because he inspired us to feel like a decent people), Sandy Koufax (because he thrilled us so and was the best of his time, maybe all time) Stein Eriksen (a great champion and role model for me as a kid)

Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III

Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III
Turner entered sailing competitions when he was 11, at the Savannah Yacht Club, and competed in Olympic trials in 1964. In 1977, he successfully defended the America's Cup for the United States as skipper of the yacht Courageous. In the 1979 Fastnet race, in a storm that killed participants, he skippered Tenacious to a corrected-time victory. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated on 4 July 1977 after winning the qualifying to lead the 1977 America's Cup defense and he was inducted into the America's Cup Hall of Fame in 1993.

Stein Eriksen

Stein Eriksen
Eriksen won the gold medal in the Giant Slalom event at the 1952 Winter Olympics, which were held in Oslo, Norway. He also won a silver medal in the slalom race. Eriksen was the first skier from outside the Alps to win an Olympic men's alpine gold medal. He also won three gold medals at the 1954 World Championships in Åre, Sweden, and a bronze medal at the 1950 World Championships in Aspen, Colorado.
