Ron Rockwell, who wrote the guest post on June 15, left us on June 30.
Ron was a deep, reflective and divergent thinker able to draw on his experiences of several vocations--scientist, Navy commander, journalist, and more.
He will be missed.

About Me
- Coralie
- I am writing three books about how we need a lot more critical thinking (and a couple other things such as species consciousness) if human beings are going to make it. The first book--MODELS MYTHS AND MUDDLES--was recently published. SWIMMING IN A SEA OF IDEOLOGY is in the works, due this fall. I have two daughters and two adult grandsons in college or recently graduated. They all have artistic talent. Although I was born and raised in Midwestern cities (Minneapolis, Cleveland, Chicago) I've lived in a number of states from Florida to Oregon, cities from Rochester NY to San Diego and 6 months in San Miguel de Allende Mexico (before it became gentrified). The longest time has been in the Arkansas Ozarks where I came during the '70s as a "back to the lander." A couple years of living alone in a cabin in the woods ala Thoreau was a great learning experience. My parents were "working-class intellectuals" and my own experiences from a wide range of jobs from janitor to gourmet cook to college instructor give perspective too. I do not like to be pigeon-holed.

Ron has definitely left a "void in the Force" as the wise one in Star Wars proclaimed. He gave me new and better understanding of the military.
We shared many tidbits on insects, a love we both shared. I felt his estrangement from his family as I've felt my own. But he did his own path in life a path I have come to admire.
