Profile: John Robert Mallernee

Personal background
Howdy, Folks!

I am 56 years old, divorced (no children), an "undiscovered" amateur singer/songwriter/actor, member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), served in Viet Nam with the United States Army 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles", and currently guard a cattle ranch in Jensen, Utah, while the owners are away serving a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I compose original lyrics and melody for mostly Country/Western/Folk songs, which I perform "by ear", singing and accompanying myself strumming simple chords on a classical guitar.

If you're ever in Salt Lake City, Utah, please visit the Viet Nam Memorial on the grounds of the Utah State Capitol, which I helped build, having served on the committee that designed, financed, and constructed it.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
In my chosen religion (I am a convert), we are taught in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) that God created MANY worlds, much like this one, and many of those worlds are populated with His offspring, just as this one is, so any intelligent extra-terrestrial beings would probably look just like us, since we are all in the image of our Heavenly Father, although animal and plant life on those planets might be starkly different from what we're accustomed to.

Einstein taught (or so I understand - - - I readily admit my limited formal education) that space and time were a linear continuum, and it's theoretically possible that where those lines intersect, interplanetary or interdimensional transfers can occur.

There are many unexplained phenomena in our world, and if we can communicate with intelligent life on other worlds, I say, let's go for it!

There's so many things waiting to be discovered and taken advantage of.

Onward, into an unknown adventure!
