That is very nice of you to say! It is a pleasure being here for me, too. I feel kind of uncomfortable with anyone mistaking me for wise, though ..... as at best I repeat the things that truly wise men -- Rubin and Onondaga Chief Waterman -- taught me. I think that the Universe's decision to appoint two wise mentors was because it considered me a trouble-maker. I know the faculty & administration in my high school sure did!
