“Clompetida”. My father was a grade school friend and my grandmother worked as a
domicile with the late Marlon Brando and his family. I became an Eagle Scout in Staten Island, New York City and in Meadville, Pennsylvania. I’ve assisted at over 5,200 lifetime Roman Catholic masses. The family (with mom and dad) moved thirteen times in our first seventeen in various places in the U.S. At the university of Notre Dame, which I put myself through financially, I became fluent in Spanish and French language with a native Colombian accent and a southern French accent, and with a year living abroad. “I studied as a graduate student at five” other colleges and/or universities, “I studied poetry under” Dr. John Matthias who read before the Queen of England in the 1960’s; also, I wrote advanced calculus at Cal Berkeley 1973. I also raised 100,000 California red worms that I bought in what would become the “Silicon Valley”. By 1968-71 with Dr. John Dunne at N.D., I passed over into eastern religions and returned to Catholicism with new insights. My teacher, Professor Walter Langford, took fifteen of us to Cali, Colombia for a year. He had started the Peace Corps for JFK in Chile. I, myself, was arrested illegally with Doctor Spock, the pediatrician, in May Day 1971. After Notre Dame graduation, I traveled 22,000 miles hitch hiking around the U.S. and down into Mexico and Colombia. I am 34 years diagnosed schizoaffective. Since 1972 Jesus Christ is my highest power.view less
