I am 61 years old.
I live in El Rancho, NM, I have grown grapes and made wine in Napa Valley and here for 30 years.
I am an Internationaly known fine artist with over 250 one man exhibitions. I paint with acrylics, and the subject matter of my work is large Native American abstract forms. My last exhibit was shown as a multi medium experience on line which featured a story I wrote on Wounded Knee, and the paintings that followed the experiences in the story.
I am currently a Civil Affairs USAR officer with command and overseas deployments. In Bosnia I had the oversite for International, National, and local infurastructure development projects that included agriculture, vet, education, medical, and sciences. My team re-establisherd the wine making and marketing industries in war torn Mostar.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. I was interested in the SETI project as soon as I read about it in the newspaper.
2. I think the most important question facing humanity is why are we here and will we survive to see another sunrise tommorrow. Finding intelligent life in the universe will be the most important discovery of any time. All you have to do is stand in the dark night and look up at the stars, and you should immediately relize that people can not just be a chemical mistake. There are too many lights up there, most you can not even see with your naked eyes. Humanity needs a new challenge; one that would unite everyone on the planet. Politics, religion, countries, life here on earth would pale with the discovery thatwe are not alone. Hopefully the world would be a better place, especially if we were to learn that we are not as smart as we think we are.
3. They are out there. They may be good or evil. They may look like us or not. But that will not matter; just the knowledge that we are not alone should lift the human spirits, and start to ansewer many of the eternal questions man has asked of the heavens forever. The dangers of discovery are very real to consider, but the rewards far overshadow the risks. I personally think that even if I was to die in the discovery of intelligent life in the universe that the knowledge that there was others would be worth my life to really know for sure. We should transmit our own signal. We may have already found them but can not see or focus on the forest for the trees. We may be looking in the wrong place or the wrong time, and just not be able to read the road signs. Again, this discovery will be most important for mankind, and after this life on this planet will never be the same.
