What is the aim or goal of your writing: "He says: 'I am a nut about writing the truth and researching my projects. My errors in writing have been very few and I apologize for them. I am sick in the gut with half-truth-writing and sensationalism. One of my lectures is "You can't believe everything you read." The Media is a rabble-rousing mess despite the fact that I gave it so much of my life. My philosophy? It can be found, beginning with the book of Genesis and on through the book of Jude and as much of Revelations as I understand'." 2nd ed. says, "I have no police record. I have few enemies. I hate no one, but there are some folks I can get along without." My hobbies are ceramics, stonecutting, polishing, and gem making. In addition, I garden, keep bees, help Mama with the cooking and housework, and do a little fishing, hunting, and wandering. I have been on the move since I retired. His hobbies were gemology, old kerosene lamps, and old people.
