| Personal background |
|---|
I am fascinated by the study of life. I have spent my forty-some years in pursuit of it's elusive meaning. Why are we here? Why do we suffer? What is the purpose of my existence?
As a child, I collected every Louisiana creature that crawled by me. I studied it, watching it move, eat, live and die. It was a child's world and my curiosities were satisfied by the life all around me. Now, I have a career in nursing-assisting in the births of new human lives.
My favorite scientific tools are my medical microscope and 80mm refracting telescope. What I can't see with my natural eyes, they see for me. Bacteria and Protozoa. Nebulas and galaxies. If life has any meaning at all, it must be found in the joy of living simply and simply living with love and compassion for all creatures.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
My faith teaches me that God created all life. Life is too precious to limit to our small planet when we have an entire universe teeming with galaxies...and life? But are we prepared to meet another species when we have hardly proven our ability to care for one another? Our history is filled with coercion, exploitation, conquest and war. My prayer would be that mankind lay down their weapons for plows. Then, we may be mature enough to greet another civilization with the awe, wonder and respect given them by the Creator.
I have been running SETI@home around three years. It's a small contribution to aid in the search of a bigger question, "Is life unique or commonplace?" Are we humble enough to realize that the answer lies between here and eternity?
"Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God."-Job 37:14
